Winter vs Summer football season?

[MikeSB]

Summer soccer for me. Agree with Mike. As it is now there is nothing more enjoyable than watching a game in August & September.

Only one problem I can see. What about the FA Cup?

And think about it, wouldn`t it be nice to see Mike in his summer shorts. Get all the female supporters excited.

Haha...more likely to REDUCE attendances if I turned up with my ex army surplus...

Just to address some points raised..

Is it a spectator sport or not and nobody in their right mind would sit in the conditions we can get Dec to March..

Many grounds are 60% empty and so its not exactly working is it..

August is the normal holiday month nowadays and so why not delay the season until Sept IF that was important and even so how games are you likely to miss due to being away from home than in mid winter?

Temperatures in the UK are not an issue compared with many others and even so we could have games on Friday or Sat Evenings in the hottest months and may even be preferred to Sat afternoons..That would address the shopping and DIY if it clashed..

I did attend games no matter what the conditions and played golf in the snow but I am much older and have more sense now... If its a really cold day I will be getting a refund on my Vale match day ticket as my health is far more important. I know I went to a game last winter and said never again....

I do believe if football was starting now, we would not be playing Jan-March and it was wholly based on a national cricket season clash and nothing else....

Ever wondered why its not considered? Because most of the ones that run football are brain dead and it won't ever cross their tiny minds why most grounds are empty and the cost comes into that too...It not a case of postponed games at all actually. It's more what is good for fans, not what is good for the club or the players and that gets mighty confused sometimes...

So, that's two for summer football and one or two more for winter...I bet any money wives will be saying to their spouses, "You must be mad paying good money to have your brussel sprouts frozen up, just open the fridge door with and sit opposite"....
