    Are we a televised game on Friday?

    Apologies for asking but I may have missed a thread explaining why we are a 13.00pm kick off.

    I can see Millwall before us (12.30pm), Sunderland (17.30) and Boro (20.00) being the only other arranged games. All the rest are 15.00 kick offs so why are we kicking off at 13.00pm?

    Not according to the listings I’ve seen
    Why 1pm?
    Maybe Frank Skinner has a gig that evening and needs to be somewhere

    Might be on a police request to stagger the Sufc game. Perhaps avoiding a lot of wba fans in Sheffield train station when others are there

    To cover the replies, we’ve played many a game at home and kicked off at 3pm when the Blades have also been at home this season so, can’t see the problem there even with fans meeting at Sheffield train station.

    Plus, are there any trains running on Good Friday it’s a bank holiday? Would have thought they’d be a limited service at most.

    Don’t like early kick offs we never seem to fair well in them or us if just me saying that?

    The last couple of early kicks offs were Sheffield United and Blackburn and we did alright in those!

    I’m talking over several years but yes it’s not been too bad so far this season but personally I don’t like early kick offs.
