Kick off time changing

[Romared]

Personally a dunt like these 12-15 12-30 5-30 kick offs , not normal or necessary , loada ballax , 3pm for all , whats the advantage in all kicking off at hafe twelve on last match o season ? Advantages are thru the season knowing earlier results before kick off, and what you have to do if things haven't gone your way , 3 pm for all

Agree , absolutely hate them . It kills the atmosphere, affects ticket sales and I hate SYP for constantly making us change when others play at 3pm. I still can’t get over that Millwall change of kick off.

All that happens is those who want to get pi ssed just go out 2 hours earlier , it makes no difference with pub opening times now anyway

It's not going to go away is it with sky , I can't understand why they don't ditch the stupid lunch time tv kick offs and switch to saturday and sunday nights like they do on the continent leaving the tea time kick off as it is .

[EastStandRed]

As much as I don’t like it I can take it when a game is live on Sky but ours never are !!

I'm sure , It effects attendances , some fans on shifts finishing at 2 for example won't be able to attend early kick offs , fans that work shifts make plans , that's if they want to go ? , sometimes it takes weeks for them to swap shifts , then SYP or SKY come along last minute and alter things ? Absolute Rubbish , I can see a really big drop in S/T sales for next season, unless something dramatically changes which i doubt , Fans don't count anymore is the message I get ,

I totally agree with that idea Roma, and along those same lines, it pees me off as well when fixtures are also staggered and on different dates.
Birmingham were set to play a day after us again tomorrow (if we'd played today of course), and this can offer allsorts of advantages to teams who play first or who play second, theres really no need for it when it comes to fixtures at this stage of the season.

Correct , so ivvrybody kicking off at hafe twelve on last day ov season is fair so nobody gets an advantage knowing other scores ? It's barmy , all this swings and rarndabarts during season meeuns nowt, damage has been done already , maybe in our case self inflicted

Well that idea of kicking off at lunchtime on the final day is also ludicrous, just because it suits those Sky gits and/or Ch5 (whoever else have rights to the Efl).
Remember when 99.5% of footy kicked off on a Satdy at 3pm, and then there was one game put back to the Sundy for live tv coverage. I think we all accepted that at the time didnt we, but its just got ridiculous since then with the sky tv and even the police as well intruding on our fixtures. They are not fans, they dont give a tom tit whether it ruins a great derby match for us against the Fowls or the Blunts or Leeds.

You've got it in 1 Roma the self destruct button was pressed early doors

In the grand scheme of things the Fans are nowt these days. Most seem to be realizing that nar.
