Playing on Wednesday's

[uncle bob]

We always played our midweek games on Tuesdays from memory.
How come we play on Wednesdays nowadays?

City played at home last Tuesday and are playing at home next Tuesday.

Agree we never used to play on Wednesday, and often wondered why that was

Re: Playing on Wednesday's

We have played a lot of Wednesday matches though in my mind?
I'm probably wrong.

Wednesday games are often scheduled after one of the teams has played the previous Sunday. That’s happened with City several times this season. There have been a number of other games on Wednesdays for no apparent reason, though.

Re: Playing on Wednesday's

Excluding European and Welsh cup ties, in our history we've played 364 times on a Wednesday and 572 times on a Tuesday. Tuesday games have become more popular since the 1980s. Since the 1980/81 season we've played 483 Tuesday games but only 125 Wednesday fixtures. The last season where we didn't play on a Wednesday at all was the 1997/98 season. We have to go back to the 1956/57 season where we didn't play on a Tuesday at all.

Exactly that.

Playing on a Wednesday is weird. Doesn't feel right.

HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY KNOW ALL THIS

Not difficult with Excel. Took me about 10 minutes. Yes, I have a spreadsheet with all of our games on it.

Re: Playing on Wednesday's

I seem to remember as a kid all the way through the 70s, that Wednesday was our home night. All the European games were Wednesday including Real Madrid.
