Unofficial Halesowen Town FC Forum

Just to let you all know that I'll be painting a wall every Monday night and you are all very welcome to come and watch it dry.

This is for the benefit of anyone who'd rather do this than watch Stourbr*dge, who have confirmed that their midweek day will be Monday this season.

I know a few clubs have done this but I can't for the life of me work out how the first day of the week can equate to being a mid week game! It'll be interesting to see if their experiment works. I know our lads train Tuesdays and Thursdays if we have no midweek game and only Thursday if we play Tuesday. Not sure how that'll work with Stour and their training schedule.

Find it weird that they have done is to avoid TV football, champions league etc.

But isn't there a premier league game on every Monday night?

Gresley moaned when we beat them 2 0 on a Monday at their place. Claimed it was unfair. THEY had chosen Monday and both teams played Saturday. I reckon it is do Hackett can go and watch others on a Tuesday with his cheque book in back pocket.

Throw money at anything.

It's so they got their excuse ready for a failed season again. Not enough rest between a Saturday and midweek game when they are at home.

Don't really know why we give Stour such grief on here. The fans that come on here always seem ok and games between us these days pass off without incident. Maybe they have a go at us on their forum, I don't read it so I don't know. I know I don't travel like I used to, but when I did there were far, far worse teams than Stour to have a go at. Aside from a load of the London area sides, I had a particular favourite in Staffordshire. Play at the Lamb. Lovely people.

They don't seem to happy about it,

I'd be gutted if we ever went to Mondays. Every time a club does this they always say that they're "giving it a go" and want to see if it makes any difference to home crowds. But there have been plenty of clubs try it (I remember Gresley did) so you'd imagine that there'd be enough proof out there to whether it works. Like Guesty has said, there's usually football on TV on Mondays, so there's probably not much benefit from this point of view.

we moved to Wednesdays because ofEuro games on Tuesday a few years back. ITV started doing both depending on what sky had. so mid season we moveed back to Tuesday.
