@owlstalk Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Wrong time to ask this as the memories of snow, cold and frozen fans will have faded but do you think the football calendar should be rejigged a bit to have a break over new year and be played in the warmer sunnier days instead ?

cross owl Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 No summers for recuperating especially supporting wednesday over a season :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan27 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Would never happen due to the World Cup and European Championships. Plus I've got enough sport to watch in the summer as it is. Cricket and motor sports keep me busy. Maybe we could just have roofed stadiums with central heating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 nope summer is for gaelic football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 No because would miss a few games due to the usual 2-3 week holiday in the summer. Apart from that it would be much better to have a winter break. But football has always been this way and shouldn't change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Not for me. Football keeps me going in the winter. Christmas day with no football is bad enough (but at least Boxing day makes up for it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurnscoe_OWL Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Football is traditionally a winter sport. We all know the story of why SWFC were formed. Why would you change that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dore Owl Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'd rather it started later and ran on into the summer. I wouldn't want a break over Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Is football better on sunny days though ?The North Stand salute would be a permanent posture for North Standers.... Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurnscoe_OWL Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It's warmer innit The players would use more energy regulating body temperature so are at more risk of burning out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 The players would use more energy regulating body temperature so are at more risk of burning out Attendances would be up though wouldn't they ? Maybe a better solution is to restructure so we only play on Saturdays None of this freezing cold winter evening midweek nonsense Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 We'd need a 3 week break so we could all go on holiday. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfmanjack Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 yes,yude get bigger crowds I'd have thought that the vast majority of football fans take their annual holidays in the summer, and you'd greatly reduce gates. Besides it's traditionally a winter game, and on the odd glorious summer weekends we have, people don't want to be sat under cover in football stadia. Why fix it when it's not broken?

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Players like Bothroyd don't run about when it's cold, imagine watching him in the summer. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
