Interesting to see that Port is insisting on playing two night matches during the colder months when we have a older supporter base who have shown by their non attendance that they aren't fans of the timeslot. For some strange reason theirs a home game listed as being played at Casey ?

Yeah the scheduling of night games towards the middle of the season is baffling. I would have thought they learnt their lesson from last year's debacle against Coburg.
These games need to played in the first handful and potentially last couple of games of the season to maximise chances of good weather and good crowds.
It's admittedly a drawback of night games. Evening matches at Frankston can get uncomfortably cold sometimes, although we got extremely lucky last year with no rain. I'm interested to know what sort of crowds Port get at night, especially during the warmer parts of the year. Frankston draw great crowds at night but I don't assume that would be the same story with every club.
