Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

No brainer but please leave it as a Friday game. We've struggled for crowds all season as it is

Why?
Because the Latics are at home to Burnley on the Saturday,

I'm really suprised its not been moved, the Hull KR game was moved to Sunday as soon as the football season started so why this is different. I also think it will change, the Latics have been waiting to see if Sky move it first, before making us change it.

Why?
Sky often do this with a popular game to fill voids in their week, they dont care about ticket sales for them its better you not wanting to go to the game live because that means you're likely to watch it which is how they make their money
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
