So first of all, they play it on a Wednesday night, which had never been done before, not Wednesday nights.
forced them to play two Friday night games the week before.
That was a reason for playing two Friday night games, Gerard, not like today.
Yes.
So they had a break.
Now, there is video and audio highlights of this, which I'll tweet out later on.
And they are worth your afternoon.
Absolutely.
So it starts off with the TV broadcast starts in black and white as well, which is a nice touch.

welcoming us to the game.

And there's heaps going on.
