Do we know why? Friday night is a terrible time to play football. If this is going o be a regular occurence they can have my season ticket back now.

Agree to all of the above, it's VERY annoying. Gotta get across London now after a work day. They don't even say why.

Short notice changes are never ideal, but it also takes two sides to agree to the move. I can’t see many teams agreeing to this going forward, Farnham have another attention seeking owner so will love the apparent publicity of playing against us.

I agree with everyone that changing our game to a Friday evening doesn't seem a very good idea and also not putting a reason for doing so.

It’s a real shame it is the first league home game of the season too.
There is something really special about the first league home game kicking off at 3pm o a Saturday.
It’s August, so the weather is usually good but not too hot
It’s often a family day, because those not away on holiday bring the kids
Friends are pleased to see each other and have time to talk
There is an air of positivity
And at 2:59 pm its the best time of the season:
You sit on your seat with a huge air of expectation.
You’re still in all the cups
You believe your team is going to win every game 6-0
And none of your players are donkeys
Pure joy.
Plus Friday night games are not good for our Jewish supporters.
Friday night is the start of the sabbath and most Jewish families gather together and have a family meal. If I still lived in Redbridge, I’d be eating with family.
I was always brought up to believe that I never went out Friday night. Even though I am non-practicing and many years older, I still have a hesitancy about doing anything Friday night.
I managed to persuade one of my friends to buy a season ticket; I’m not sure how he will take to Friday night games given he had a similar upbringing to myself.
