For most, it wouldn't really make much of a difference. With so many games moved for TV I agree will make little difference Be interesting to see how this evolves and if any of the smaller clubs start talking of moving evening Kick offs to the afternoon In a way Reminiscent of the three day week in 1974 when sunday games were first introduced to spread electricity demand and a few weeks later when we had to play Southampton in an FA Cup game at Burnden Park on a weekday afternoon Don't think so many people had ever before wagged school on the same afternoon Club were happy to cash in - had to pay full adult prices to get in as officially kids were banned from attending that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burndens Bogs Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Happy medium 2pm would be ok imo. Time for a few beers before the game and would still be light leaving the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ros Coe Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 1:00pm isn’t very good for the away fans - 2hrs less time to get there. Exeter away would be a pain.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, you’d probably gain some time by the early start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends "Local" away games and home games are a pain if you do other things in the AM, like I do when I'm in charge of the little one Further afield, maybe less so, more drinking time after isn't too bad either All in all though, fuck 1pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
