So kids and teachers finish at what 3 30? 4 and a half hours before kick off? It’s not exactly impossible for them to savour it is it?
I don’t care when it is, I’d probably rather it wasn’t Monday personally but I just can’t get on board with all the ‘oh it would be terrible’ shouts. There’s no answer that suits everyone (some people work weekends aswell you may be shocked to hear, and trains are worse on Sundays for most people too). I just think the pearl clutching about it from some is massively over the top, if the occasion is important to these people as you’re making out then they’ll sort it out. If they’d just quite like to have an afternoon piss up and get together with their mates and a Monday night would ruin it then unlucky but who cares.
