I seem to recall in the days of the Goldstone, midweek games were always on a Wednesday with a 7:30pm kick-off.
I'm not sure why midweek games seemed to be moved en-bloc to Tuesdays at 7:45pm - maybe to do with TV?
I miss Wednesday football.....

Ahh.. Wednesday. It's my favourite 'between Tuesday and Thursday type day of the week'.
I think the reason is that more office meetings are held on a Wednesday than any other day of the week (according to Some Bloke) and so the clubs know that it may be slightly harder for us to get to the game after a meeting. Since clubs and TV companies do everything in their power to schedule games on days and at times which we find most convenient, then their earnest desire not to inconvenience us will be the reason Shirley for a dearth of Wednesday games.

Blimey, how old are you? Actually it was Thursday where I used to live in Staines.
I quite like Wednesday, it's hump day. Middle of the working week.

When did we last play a home game on a Wednesday?
Ipswich last season. Just after Christmas - Wednesday 29th December 2015. I think.
Edit: wrong. That was a Tuesday.

I keep thinking there must have been one but unless it was governed by the Christmas and new year timetables and I've forgotten it I don't think there has actually been a Wednesday night match at the Amex.

i reckon its changed to allow an extra day before the Saturday game. so the week goes from Saturday to Saturday, psychologically fitting better. with a Wednesday midweek game you get the extra day before the Wednesday.

Correct. Two other league matches have been played at the Amex on a Wednesday: Bournemouth on Jan 1 2014 and Cardiff on March 7 2012.
The only other competitive fixture played on a Wednesday was the Carling Cup tie against Liverpool on September 21 2011.
Staines is closed 7 days a week now

I think we played a few Wednesday games with 8pm kick offs during the first season at Withdean
