i would suggest the main factor now giving some fans an advantage is the team that is announced one hour before kick off so I would suggest the deadline is changed to 65 minutes before kick off.
The Ding's plea is for you to decide. Much as I like Dings I would reluctantly say invalid as it would set a precedent where other requests would require equal treatment. I'm sure Dings will understand and appreciate that, even though it will cost him a point.
