I agree with the view of rogue from a fans POV it would certainly make it easier but I would imagine from a corporate POV Friday Nights are much easier to sell as a club than a sunday night.
Personally I like the fact that we play most of our home games on a Friday night as it provides consistency rather than having the problem of games being moved left right and centre for Sky.
No because, as pointed out by SLIMply it would increase viewing figures on Sky. Thus giving the game better sponsorship leverage as a whole and a better negotiating position with Sky. Sky viewing figures are so small that a fair proportion of say 30k fans attending other games on Friday would see a significent leap in viewing figures.
This would benefit the game as a whole. However it seems that some clubs bow to the beck and call of the corporate client rather than the game's target audience of the family to suit their own self-interest rather than the game and and its fans overall.
Personally I prefer Sunday as it allows me to watch the Sky game which is the sole reason why I pay a hefty chunk of cash each month as a Sky subscription. Plus not everybody has the perk of the likes of teachers where you finish work at quarter to three on a Friday (when they're not on holiday) allowing them to make their way leisurely to the game.
