1705 tickets on the exchange for tonight's game.

Why do so many people hate Monday night football compared to a Tuesday or Thursday?

Because it is a properly SHIT night for football.

(Don't know why really - it just is).

Mondays are the worst day of the week and January is the worst month of the year. Combine those two, and add in Wolves not being a mouth-watering opponent, and you end up where we are.

First day back to work after weekend for most
People are footballed out after weekend
A non footballing day

It's the worst slot by a miles

The club have missed a trick here – they should've marketed it as 'BLUE (AND WHITE) MONDAY!'

I am in two minds whether to go or not. Monday, get home 11pm, work tomorrow !!
Or watch on TV in warm!!
Will probably go and be one of the moaned at leavers on 85 mins to beat the after game rush.. Ten mins early easily equates to home 40 mins earlier.

It'll get worse as I'm sure I can't be the only one thinking 'if the game allows us to leave early we're offski'.

Worst time of the year for a lot of people financially. Not good for kids- I can get away with taking mine to a European game on a Thursday night with one day left at school for the week, but no chance for a Monday night against Wolves. I thought the fact that it feels like we haven't played for ages would help, but it doesn't seem so.

Yes, it's the worst kick off slot. Sadly, as an NFL fan you can blatantly blame our friends in the US of A who created Monday Night Football as a thing many years ago to squeeze an extra TV game out of a weekend.

The weekend is done, you have gone back to work, kids have school the next day BUT it's finishing off the last round of fixtures rather than being a round in and of itself or a special game like a cup game or European game.

Do I want to go out on a windy Monday night with the weekend firmly behind me? No. Will I? Of course.

Considering how long it’s been…I thought I would be more excited than this.
But I’m not.
That said, if it’s another 6-0 goalfest, I could be persuaded….

Because I booked the weekend off work as the match was originally supposed to be over the weekend and now I'm stuck working till 6.30 where it takes at least 2 hours to get to the football.

Maybe the amount of tickets left is also impacted by a lack of Japanese visitors with Mitoma away.

I'm going and expecting a sumptuous sun-kissed Dubai-practised feast of football.

Might even have a pint first.
