Really seems you along with a few others just dont get it. So what if its school holidays its not about being allowed to stay up late. Fact is its just to late for some kids. Would loved to have taken my grandaughter but she is normally in bed and asleep by 8 olclock and there is no way she would have lasted till the end of the game.

Sorry but to schedule a kids game at 7 is just crazy,yeah might be fine for some kids but there are plenty of others who just couldnt handle it being that late and to suggest otherwise really shows little understanding. 

LOL you point might add up to 3 or 4 people, But there were more kids at that home game vs Roar then there has been for some time. Its more like Adults that have issues about late times then it is about kids. Blaming late night on family matters, then actually looking at the crowds and seeing fk all teenage/adult supporters at home games makes more sense. The kids were there, The adults fans weren't.

That just confirms you dont get it or understand 3/4 shows just how out of touch you really are.

So 2k of NIX's fan didn't show up because of there kids late bed times? Please like Dale you will have to do better then that.

Sorry Royz but unless you have young kids yourself you are just not in a position to argue with hundreds (rather than thousands) of family poeple who need to weigh up Sunday night entertainment against a working week routine that for many starts not with a Monday morning alarm clock but with a Sunday night downtime.  

It is much easier for me now, with twenty year old children, to have a late Sunday night. I don't need to get out of bed till 7am on Mondays. When my kids were school age I would not have considered making a trip home from a football game around 9pm especially a trip of more than 30 min, as we all had to get up at 6:30am on Monday.

I am sure you are right that many supporters still decided to attend on Sunday night with young kids. However, if the game was scheduled earlier on Sunday, or on a Friday or Saturday night, we might have had 10-11K instead of just under 8K in attendance.
