Have no dramas at all with MNF.

Enjoy it. Both at the game, but especially when the Knights aren't playing, some footy to watch on TV on a Monday night.

How can ya not love it?

Everyone's home by 9pm anyway, its hardly a late night.

Because its the start of the working week and I have children who do sport etc that have to be organised and generally I just don't like it.

Ahh for f**ks sake. I wish monday night games would just f**k off and die. Once a year I get to see Melbourne without having to travel and now I can't even go.

9:00pm?

With the game not finishing until usually around 8:45/8:50pm, 10-odd minute walk to the car, another 15-20 in traffic, even locals aren't home until about 9:30pm. With kids, that's late.

That's not even taking into account the fact that you're a regional team where you've got people who come from Maitland, Forster, Nelson Bay, Raymond Terrace, Singleton, Muswellbrook, Gosford, Wyong etc etc... it's over an hour for most of those locations...

I personally have no issues with it at all.

Everyone wah wah' wah's about MNF, but there'd be more sporting commitments for people generally on a Saturday or Sunday than on a Monday ( especially kids - no , not you Fred, you're special obviously ), and I mean surely kids can stay up an extra hour or so every now and then, unless people are running some kinda dictatorship at home.

It doesn't happen very often, so let the kids go and lighten up a bit!

As for adults, the amount of people who have rocked up to work over the years after getting home at 4 or 5am after a night out should raise their hands.

The match finishes at 8.40pm , so even if you're an hour away, you'll be home by 10.30pm at the very latest even if you are from bloody Maitland or the Central Coast!

Anyone would think everyone is in bed by 9pm on a weekday.

Come off it, most people who go to work watch some kinda movie, or Packed To The Rafters or some other crap until about 10pm anyway.

Just man it up a bit and get out there.

MNF is good for the game and everyone ought to remember when you've pulled the all nighters and gone to work just the same.

Fortunately Big Dog doesn't run the NRL.

F*** me running. I hate Monday nights.

And btw Karma, I'm from Maitland and I agree that it's not too late a night. But you have to consider fans that travel considerably further - do you think everyone that attends Knights games lives between Gosford and Maitland?

No of course not.

But f*ck, we've had a pretty damn good run over the recent years with minimal MNF games, and this year, we have played plenty on Sunday arvos so we can't really complain.

What about the fact that alot of people work until 5:30 or so, so I know I dont see great value in $40 for one game of football.

I don't think $40 for a Knights game at EAS is value at any time let alone Monday Night, but I still go... ;-)

I'm with Karma on this one, I enjoy Monday night footy a great deal on Fox so when the Knights cop one it isn't a big deal for me.

If you really want to watch the game live then get there and watch it, who cares if it's a bit late or if the kiddies miss one crappy sports training session. Not as if it happens all that often during the season.

Love MNF great to have something too look forward to after the first day of toil, its like getting a extra free six pack with a carton when the knights are playing!

Obviously it won't matter whether the Knights play at home on a Tuesday night at 11pm, I'd still go, but I f**king hate Monday Night Football. Deadset, I thought sport was meant to be a weekend thing ...
