Matt Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 I see not much reason for the draw being on the Monday, why was it changed in the first place? Most people are at work or school on Mondays, Ok the draw is Monday lunchtimes so people could see the draw on there lunchtime, but alot of people lunch finish at 1pm - 1.30pm, so those people won't see the draw! I'm at college tomorrow and my lunch finishes at 1.30pm, having said that if I was at work my lunch finishes at 1pm, but at work I could find out on the radio. Anyway as you can probably guess from what i've wrote above I think the draw should be back to the Sunday evening!
filbertway Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 It was great watching the draw after the final match on a sunday afternoon. But never mind at least were still in it
Jonbluefox9 Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 It should be on Sunday. I won't find out until 3:30 tomorrow now or I'll find out from some stranger in school who'll shout it out when they see my City coat. I like to find out for myself.
Durnerz Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 Sunday definetly, I'm at work on mondays and i'm sure a lot of other people are in the same boat as well as school.

Muz Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 Monday for me aswell Purely because i get the afternoon off school to see the draw
Guest Daniel Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 Monday for me aswellPurely because i get the afternoon off school to see the draw 69059[/snapback] Pathetic reason to skive school and if your parents let you off to watch a few balls drawn out of a bag then there just as bad and should face the penalty.

Oh well, dont want to argue.

Guest Daniel Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 I dont, I just take my iRiver and listen to it at work. If you have got an iPod it's not much help. Wheres your radio? Wheres your radio?

City Fan Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 If people are in lesson or whatever at 1.30pm on monday, sneakily go on your phone and have a look (if youve got GPRS) like I do on 02. You then know the draw, and you dont get caught!
TAFKA Castroneves Posted 20 February 2005 Posted 20 February 2005 Meh I'll go down the pub and miss registration, I don't have a lesson at college till 2.20pm.

Mind you I still think Sunday would be the best.
