I reckon if they'd left it 2000+ buddies would have made the journey (or were able to). I can see it being about a 1000 buddies at best now. I hope i'm wrong ...

I hope i'm wrong ... Reckon doesn't quite cut it................what was the last attendance at Dundee United? That's a gauge. I'm not saying a Friday night is great, it's 90 minutes to get to Dundee from Paisley so that's a factor. Being on TV is also a factor but, as I said, it's a big game, supporters who were planing to go on the Saturday will, mostly, go on the Friday.

I will be there and one or two others I know as well.

It will just mean taking the day off work which shouldn't be a problem. If given the choice between say Sunday lunch time or Friday night football, it would be Friday night for me. Also like Friday night games. Personally .... would play them all then. Just my opinion.

Being on TV is also a factor but, as I said, it's a big game, supporters who were planing to go on the Saturday will, mostly, go on the Friday. I think results the previous week will have as much influence on the attendance as anything else. If Utd drop points at Livingston and we thrash Brechin I think you'll see a large away support at Tannadice.
February 8, 20188 yr I think results the previous week will have as much influence on the attendance as anything else. If Utd drop points at Livingston and we thrash Brechin I think you'll see a large away support at Tannadice. And not forgetting the Tuesday games too...
February 8, 20188 yr Can only speak for myself. I will be there and one or two others I know as well. I'll be there too along with some of the family.Living north of Aberdeen means games in Inverness, Dundee and Brechin are like home matches to me. Expect to make about half of the remaining games this season.

Personally, it would suit me to have all home matches on a Friday night as I have to take time off work for all Saturday Games. No need for lie downs for me or probably Ricky also.

It all really depends on what suits the individual.
February 8, 20188 yr I don't normally mind Friday night games but on this occasion it's a pain the arse as I'm Backshift that week and cannot get a holiday. I did however manage to get a holiday for the Tuesday of that week for the game against Falkirk so it will BT for me also. COYS!!!

The occasional Friday night is okay, it has never really felt right to me.
