February 1, 20224 yr 21 minutes ago, Rudy said: Not surprised with the 8pm KO especially if you have kids on school nights I wondered if anyone has actually suggested to the club that we bring evening kick-offs forward to 7.30? It would possibly plonk an extra 2k bums on seats & everyone gets to get home earlier. Win win.

Not at Cambridge in league one ffs

Not at Cambridge in league one ffs Yeah, it was part of the planning. Although the difference in traffic is stark when the shops are shut so it can’t all be match day traffic. I would say half 7 might be a bit too early for people who might work in Manchester until 5 etc, but surely joining everyone else (except Reading) at 7.45pm isn’t too much to ask. Fairly sure the club had to apply for special permission to kick off at that time for the odd TV game (Forest on a Friday springs to mind)
February 1, 20224 yr The ST should be doing this, rather than fooking around with the pointless stuff they are doing.

Makes me wonder how many of our supporters actually work in Manchester and beyond etc who would normally attend a Tuesday night match in winter? Couple of hundred tops? There are many many more kids who can’t attend a midweek 8pm KO match. It isn’t rocket science.

Nothing a quick email survey from the club wouldn’t solve tbh whether people aren’t coming because of the late night or if they already find it a bit of a rush. Quite liked the early finish of the 7pm JPT games but wouldn’t fancy the rushing about for every midweek game. Certainly wouldn’t have an issue with 7.45 though.

We’ve not had pointless poll for a while.😀 7.30 7.45 or 8pm
February 1, 20224 yr I work in Liverpool, 8 o'clock gives me time to get home, showered, changed and off to the match. 7.45 kick off makes it tighter and at 7.30 I'd have to knock it on the head, probably wouldn't be worthwhile getting a season ticket.

Fake news No one works in Liverpool 🤣
February 1, 20224 yr Junior gets up at 6.45am every morning to leave the house at 7.15am to go to sixth form. Wife has the car on Tuesday nights for work, but if I can borrow my lad's car, we'd get home at 10.45pm-ish after an 8pm KO, so we don't normally bother. Public transport just doesn't work at all at that time of night for us.

February 1, 20224 yr Been watching us long enough to know what normally follows a scintillating performance. I'd snatch your hand off for a drab 1-0 win tonight.

Wonder what happened to the cash? They blocked me on social media for raising that point. At the time they were hellbent on exposing Ken, they were being run by a fraudster. Where's that Spiderman meme?
February 1, 20224 yr Concentrate on kick off times. Booking fees. Fanzone (Which I have heard the plans have changed, thats why its possibly gone wrong) Anything else other than the pointless shit they do. How much did the club miss out on last Saturday with away fans having nowhere to drink?
February 1, 20224 yr Personal preferance would be a 7:30 pm start for night games , as it stands i usually end up getting home around midnight. .
