3 Feb. Gateshead 0-1
6 Jan. Halifax 3-0
16 Dec. Bromley 1-2
9 Dec. Hampton and Richmond 2-2

Before that we actually beat Chesterfield 2-1 on 18 Nov and Solihull Moors 5-0 on 21 Oct.

The other 4 Saturday home games were Oldham 5 Aug 4-0
19 Aug Hartlepool 2-3
2 Sept Kidderminster 2-1
23 September Fylde 1-2

6 wins in 19 Saturday home games since the start of last season and 9 defeats.

For those like me who only attend Saturday home games, it’s pretty grim reading.
Do I really want to spend 6 hours travelling there and back for such little reward?

Shocking stats, I can’t see much changing until the January transfer window.
But are we an attractive club to come to nowadays . Is there going to be enough talented players available? Lots of questions but we have to wait until January I guess.

So don’t wins on Bank Holiday Mondays and Tuesday nights count then? Or even away wins on Saturdays?

I'd like to see the stats for Friday night and Tuesday night games at Roots Hall. We always seem to perfom better under the lights and the atmosphere is 10x better also. Not a huge fan of Saturday 3pm games at RH, they always seem a bit dull.

Wonder what the reason is for the lack of Friday night games this season?....as above we always appear to perform better and the crowds tend to be larger and noisier as well.

Bring a few back please COSU!

Bring back some Friday night home games! Especially when we have a midweek game the following week.

Certainly not, because I as a long distance supporter I only attend Saturday home games. There was a time when we couldn’t buy a home win on a Tuesday evening.

Any explanations as to why we are so poor on Saturdays at home. In 2 of those 6 wins the opposition had 10 men for most of the second half…. and Solihull Moors always let us win.

Not in the stats for home Saturdays, no !

I’m well aware of that but the inference from one poster was that we’re not winning games at all and this won’t change until January.

 

[PIERS]

The other team will have to agree to a Friday night game. Looking at our Sat record they would have to be certifiable to agree

I always think the evening games with floodlights creates a better atmosphere.

So Tuesday evenings it’s 9 games since we lost - way back in March 2023 to Chesterfield.

In fact since we got relegated we’ve played 22 home games on Tuesday evenings, winning 15 drawing 4 and losing 3. So different to Saturday afternoons.
