Normally like a game under the lights but can't make this one. Friday wouldn't normally be a problem for me for night games as I work in Central London and can get the train from Waterloo to Twickenham, could be more a a problem for the rest of my lot however. Be interesting to see what sort of crowd we draw, but reckon it could be one of our lowest this season. Hope I'm proved wrong.

As we have to try and get round the M25 on friday night for this game. The wife has already decided she dont want to go to see one. So i think i will wait until friday afternoon to make my mind (and hers of course.

). But i wont hold out much hope of getting there.

Can understand why the club are giving friday a go but as has been said a good deal of us
are not local to the Stoop and I must say I am not exactly looking forward to a crawl round the
M25 on a friday afternoon.

Still at least it will be worth it when we get there. Thats assuming we get there at all

Have you seen our squad!!

I'm leaving from Maidstone at 4pm, fingers crossed it'll be OK...

London traffic bit strange on a Friday the rush hour seems to start at 2pm and by 6-30 m25 can be very quietish.

I’m fairly ambivalent about Friday games. If it helps pull a larger crowd great, but it has to be done regularly to discover whether that will work. It’s fine for me in the sense that I can get there from work and see the game OK and I’m not missing out on anything else, but it takes me well over an hour to get home and the game won’t finish until gone 9.30, so I’ll just go straight home afterwards. I prefer the afternoon game with a few (or a lot of) pints afterwards. I often do midweek evening football matches and it all seems a bit rushed with less time for socialising. As for the atmosphere of an evening game – it’s going to be broad daylight until well into the second half so I don’t really see that’s going to make a lot of difference.

Yes a tongue in cheek smiley would not have gone amiss to accompany my last post.

I'll be there on friday - got to make the treck from Reigate via Clapham Junction then meet up with Jillie in Twickenham

Alas i will be wearing a Bulls shirt - Always a sucker for the underdog and i think they will need all the support they can get

I'll be in an all day meeting but at 4pm the "Quins 30yr" shirt goes on and I'll be up there in time for the first game at 5:30

Friday is not a good time for me, I have to travel on the M25/M2 home pick up the kids and then back on the M20/M25. If Friday become the norm then 4 will be missing on a regular basis. Can,t see many coming from Bradford.

We never get many Bulls fans (other than Quins Bull)



Oh, and Brian Mac..

we should always have a couple of weekday evening games in the schedule to help attract people who work in the area to come down

From a selfish point of view I have to say I hope it's a failure. The first home game I'm going to misss this year, but due to home circumstances I just can't afford to not be able to get home until nearkt midnight.



I'm sure it's a great idea when nearly all of your support comes from fairly near the ground, as with most teams, but the circs are different in London. It does sometimes feel as if those of us not from west London are rather second class in the club's eyes.

I can't afford to get in before 11 o'clock!



You're sounding a bit paranoid, Dawg.

You should try being a SE Londoner (we got no tubes or nuffink..)

I'm never normally home until after midnight, but then that's usually my own doing

I thought being tagged meant you had to be by 7

Actually I meant about midnight (doh). And I am a SE Londoner (at least I live there - I'm really a Man of Kent).

Anyone else get the email this morning accouncing 20% off everthing in the club shop at tonight's game?

Am on there list but have not not received it thus far.
To be fair though it is on the website.

Yes, but that's only because someone's nicked them!

Friday Night lights name is a bit cheeky given Skolars annual FNL game

I really hope this works even though, if it does, and Friday nights become the standard from next season, I won't be there. It's worked in the distant past, maybe it can work now.

Well done to the club for giving it a go. Bradford, with their poor in numbers away support, are a good choice.

H.G. Bissinger may consider it a bit cheeky for any British rugby league team to borrow the title of his best selling book about Permian Panthers American Football team (first published 1990). Given that it's been a huge seller and both the film and TV shows made of the back of it have aired in Britain it's hardly unknown around here. (Incidentally if you haven't read the book I'd highly recommend it and I have absolutely no interest in American football, it's probably the best sports book I have ever read.)

I couldn't make it last night as I was taken ill during the day, how did it go off the pitch? I'll declare an interest, as a decade plus long season ticket holder any move to Friday as a regular night would probably see me switch to an occasional fan.

M25 was horrible but then it usually is on a Friday night.
