3 of our first 4 home games on a Thursday. They don't make it easy .

It’s the thing that stuck out to me. It’s pretty awful that and will hurt the club financially.

I can see that the latter two are because of being on Sky but the first one doesn’t look to be. That one looks to be on a Thursday because Latics are at home on the Saturday against Sunderland.

I am retired now so Thursday's don't bother me but 4 of our traveling party work so it's 2 days holiday off work instead of 1 or even just half a day (early finish Friday)

It’s so difficult. I’m ok as I work from home now and so are the other guys I go with but clearly Thursday is difficult for many people.

On the upside things look better once we get these out the way and I like the mix of days the games fall on. The Tour De France would’ve been a nice week in June/July but not sure it’ll temp many in March.

I thought Toulouse would be easier to get to from Manchester. Looks like the only places you can get non stop flights are the London airports

Nah I've flown there myself from Manchester. Unless something has changed since 2018. It was with FlyBe to be fair who have since gone under.

Flight from Manchester 12 noon on Friday to Carcassonne then train (1 hour) to Toulouse. Return on Monday to Manchester or train to Perpignan for those doing both matches.
