Football > View from the Outer
Would you prefer a day or night Grand Final?
mightytiges:
It was mentioned on 3aw that if the ratings tomorrow night for Hewitt go through the roof as expected (3 million viewers expected) then don't be surprised if the AFL big wigs start pushing the idea of a Saturday night GF. The $$$$ available from prime time tv sponsors will be too tempting to pass up.
What do you guys think about a night granny?
I like the tradition of the day and would prefer it to stay that way but if the Tiges reached and won a GF I wouldn't be complaining even if it was played at 2am in the morning ;D :thumbsup.
Looking at other major national sports the Superbowl is played in the evening while the FA Cup remains a daylight fixture.

I like fireworks at night rather than the day - seem to lose their effect somehow lol
Tradition of the day is good as it is - except if i have to watch Bert Newton on the tellie again during the lead up i'll scream!
But i do like night games better than day - so I'd be easily swayed!

I was thinking the same thing this morning MT when I first realised the Aust Open Final was tomorrow night. (Proof of how much tennis interests me.)
I like the way it has always been, a day GF for the footy.
I'll always remember an elderly lady phoning a radio station when our measurement system changed from imperial to metric. She argued that it shouldn't change until all the old people had died. ;D
Flawed logic, but hey I can almost see where she was coming from. :helpl
WilliamPowell:
No night grand final for me. I am a tradionalist.
Dead set against a night grand final and footy on good friday.
As for tomorrow nights tennis final - I am not too keen on that either. Even less pleased that one player has had an extra day to prepare/recover. The Australian Open becomes more like the US Open every year :banghead :banghead
