Dizzys Dad Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Is it just me or do we have a real problem with night matches? This season, and in previous seasons, we have been absolutely gash in them, Stevenage twice, Bury, Carlisle, Blackpool, Blackburn have been our worst results of the season. Is their something wrong with our preparation? I would guess we have the worst ratio of points when comparing results on saturdays to results in midweek of any club in the football league. Something needs to be done about it, STARTING TONIGHT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 True usually, we are sh!t at night games, although we've been just as awful in the day aswell. One of the rare times i've seen us play genuinely well recently was at Scunny under the lights, maybe things are changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Lets hope for a Tranmere home performance from the players like last season when Mellor was on fire. Of course he isn't here now but others can step up and do the business. Edited March 6, 2012 by Ronnie Starling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have always thought we do worse at night games for some reason, both home and away and not just this season. Does my head in as it is more of an effort to get to night games and the team does not turn up. I would love to see statistics of night game over last tens years, I bet they make grim reading. Can think life of me why this should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can think life of me why this should be. I seem to remember a while back, someone worked out, over the season, if you took the average number of points gained in night matches and multiplied it by 46, we would have been relegated, and doing the same for saturday games, we would have been promoted.

shabbyhouse Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I seem to remember a while back, someone worked out, over the season, if you took the average number of points gained in night matches and multiplied it by 46, we would have been relegated, and doing the same for saturday games, we would have been promoted. I wonder if anyone's ever done the same calculation for playing in cold weather. I've often thought we never do well other than when it's warm. So night games in cold weather we might as well concede and not risk player injuries. And as for tonight, sunset is 5.55pm, and the temperature is set to be 7C, so I confidently forecast a classic 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteG_1984 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Night games always seem to be really depressing and people there more out of duty rather than actually wanting to see a game of football. But then surely this is the same for most teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Night games arent depressing, I like them better. Cold night air, the floodlights. Used to be even better when grounds had proper floodlight pylons. You could see them as you approached the ground. Something special about looking up at old fashioned floodlights in the rain.

Guest Go For It Owl Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 It's the atmosphere It's dire for night games Watch it tonite we'll be quiet as mice Why? Hard days work, couple of pre match pints, big tea or a pie at the match ! Think we should only sell DOUBLE VODKA AND RED BULLS and no pies at the nite time match days . Everyone would be buzzing and right up for it instead of half a sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday-Wonderland Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 during our years in the championship i put it down to having mentally weak players with bad attitudes who didn't like playing in the cold. but now you can't really describe our team like that...so f*ck knows.
