I hate Thursday Night football. It really doesn't suit me in any way. I had to miss one tutoring session (I usually work until 19:10 on Thursdays). The trains weren't running. Instead of getting on at Ringwood, I had to drive to Syndal to get a train. The food at the MCG is pathetic. I never have enough room to straighten out my dodgy knees. I didn't even get the see the first bounce, or the first 3 goals. Then I have to wake up for work the next morning after getting to bed well after midnight, and I always find it hard to relax after the game.
The whole thing just doesn't suit me, and hasn't from the start. The first time they tried this thing I had a parent -teacher night on the same night. It doesn't allow people from the regions to get to the game and get home, even though I no longer have to go to Bendigo to get home. I really hate it.
I get it @crashlander , but the big dollars comes from the broadcaster so it's never going back the way it was. I hate it too, lose and Friday, Sat and Sun suck, and usually you end up with a 9 or 10 day break before the next game, which just sucks even more.
