Burndens Bogs Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 7.30 would be great, even 7.45 would be better than the stupid 8pm kick offs. I was talking about this with Maggie Tetlow the other week and she agreed that evening kick offs should be earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted May 18, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted May 18, 2022 Wasn’t the KO time set originally because someone decided the fans needed an extra half hour for the travel difference between travelling to Burnden Park and Reebok? 25 years later and maybe we’re getting used to it. Can we try for occasional Wednesday games as well, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen the argument of well the EFL cup ko’s at 7, yeah there’s also a difference of 10,000 fans It’ll be 7:45 ko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 It wS, in the origins, a bye-law set by Hirwich Council, to respond to all sorts of complaints from the houses off Chorley New Road, to the side of St. Joseph's school. A great deal of 'whatifery' took hold at that time as residents sat & dreamt up all sorts of evils. By-laws can be changed, of course, and maybe they have been already, but until they are 8pm will remain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something along the lines of, “Resident Parking Only” Folk ignored it on the grounds, I pay my Road tax, this is a road, I’m entitled to park.

The club can (and have previously) applied for exemptions, mainly when TV has dictated a 7.45pm kick off. Not sure how much of a faff it would be to get it completely written off though.

But it still has to happen. Applying for exemptions shows that it was still in place at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embankment Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Move them to 7.30 on a Wed then I can have a pint in The Brewery Tap after the match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 If starting at 7:30 means you get your kids off to bed 30 mins earlier then it's a piss poor reason. Keep it at 8 for me. Less of a rush getting up to H town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what I'll just buy the odd game for us both And then never buying the odd game. Them 7pm papa John's shows there loads like that... Will take kids for night matches but not getting home near 11. Not sure we'll get anything but 7.45 tbf. That will make fuck all impact in terms of crowd numbers in reality.
