« Your sport needs you! | | Rough treatment for Stevens » February 27, 2009 Posted on 02/27/2009 Friday night lights beckon Wales fans The weekend has already started for legions of Wales fans if the splashes of red throughout St Pancras International railway station are anything to go by. It appears many fans are embracing the latest Six Nations innovation - Friday night matches. Phones must be ringing in offices throughout the principality with fans offering their best excuses for skipping work having scoured Dorland's Medical Dictionary for a suitable, but not too serious ailment - whether they can muffle the sound of tannoy announcements in the background is another task altogether. With a 9pm kick off for tonight's game these fans are making an early break for the continent - I jus thope they have the stamina and the capacity for the amount of continental lager that they are set to consume. Love the idea or loathe it - I think Friday night action is here to stay, such is the power of TV and other commercial interests. The controversy will soon be forgotten - remember the fuss over Sunday games? The game will still be a sell-out no doubt and new memories and traditions will begin tonight. Surely Six Nations matches are an event worthy of their own day? Imagine a game on a Friday, one on Saturday then the final one on Sunday? Sound good? 'Super Saturdays' are great for the armchair fans but murder for those trying to cover it all or those attending one an unable to see the others. But they do have their appeal as a grand finale.
