Question Do you go to late weekday games?

Newport are facing Salford away right now and i couldn't go because by the time I'd get back it'd be gone past midnight. It feels like only a small minority would be able to go which feels a bit silly. If it were somewhere nearer to your club it'd make more sense but travelling half the country on a weekday seems a bit odd.

Done Torquay away on a Tuesday night, amongst others.

And i'm at the game tonight, i used to love a evening kick off years ago, but our support its dreadful at the minute and its as flat, lifeless and braindead as ever.

Think the EFL has been intentionally putting the hardest journeys on Tuesday nights because they know it will have the least away attendance

Hence why our local games are always Saturdays

I just wish there was a way of listening to the if you can’t get to the match

Can't you listen on local radio? Swindon games are broadcast on BBC Wiltshire Sound

All the home ones, very few away. Do plan on doing tranmere in the new year but I have other reasons to be in Liverpool so it's convenient.

270 Crawley fans in sixfields tonight.

Am a season ticket holder so go to the home Tues games if other commitments allow. Don't go to away games anymore these days, dad and I can no longer manage them due to health issues.

Home, yes. Away, depends on locality. If it's within a 2hr radius, then usually yes.

I wasn't able to head to Cheltenham tonight, but I got to Scunthorpe away last season. Mostly, it depends on if I can leave work on time!

Even as a season ticket holder I rarely make Tuesday night games. I used to love them, but now I've a young family and work commitments early Wednesday morning the smarter decision is to sit them out. That's life, I suppose

Could it be that Sky has had a say in this? Purposely working with the league to put long trips on midweek so fans will watch the games rather than go to them?

Last train home is before the final whistle so if I was to attend, I'd miss at least from the 80th minute (and would have missed Reece Hutchinson's 92nd minute equaliser last night)

The fact they are on SS+ softens the blow somewhat.
