  • 12:30 Kick offs

    I feel we’ve had more early kick offs this season than usual.

    Does anyone like me prefer them?

    Definitely not

      No, I don’t like them at all. First of all, it means you lose the whole day to football (not much time to do anything in the morning), and secondly, my pub of choice doesn’t open until twelve, so no pre-match beer.

        I quite like them depending on the time and location of where my son is playing in the morning. Usually go straight from there to the match. Free in the late afternoon, early evening.

        If we have done well, also sometimes nice to see how the other teams are getting on.

          No. Sky can just fuuck off.

          Can't get to the game due to kids football.

          It's only anecdotal evidence but my lads team have four players who regularly watch City with their Dad's.

          That don't happen for a 12:30 ko.

          It'll be interesting to see what the attendance is for the Lincoln match next month if both teams are still 1st and 2nd? I would've expected a crowd of perhaps 22000 or 23000 if at 3pm.

          Similarly if the Bolton match gets moved in April?

            12:30 kick offs would be an issue with the kids games, but we don't seem to have had a game for months

                Same every season isn't it. Unless teams have access to 4G November, December and January is a complete wash out.

                Why the FAW or local leagues don't get together and organise junior football having winter break and extend into April/May is a mystery?

                My lads team have played 6 league games since September.

                *another one of my rants*

                  There have been more because we have been relegated and sky rarely show league one games on a Friday or Sunday but they do show popular league one games on a Saturday lunchtime.

                  I prefer earlier kickoffs as I find I hang around in the morning waiting for 3pm to come around but 12:30 kickoffs means more time out in the evening.

                    12:30 kick-offs at home so far this season along with the crowds they attracted:

                    02/08 - Peterborough (19,615)
                    30/08 - Plymouth (21,813)
                    06/12 - Huddersfield (16,048)
                    24/01 - Stockport (19,684)

                    12:30 kick-offs away:

                    23/08 - Luton
                    25/10 - Bolton
                    17/01 - Bradford

                    Plymouth (A) and Lincoln (H) are scheduled for 12:30 kick-offs.

                    I'm not bothered by the home 12:30 kick-offs, but I live in Cardiff. I suspect I'd be irritated by them if I lived further afield.

                    I love the 12:30 away games. Watching our game on TV and then watching the rest of the results come through during the afternoon is good fun. I don't travel to away games these days, so it's not an inconvenience. I appreciate it's a pain in the butt for those who do travel away regularly, but doing so is their choice. If they don't like it, they don't have to go, it's not compulsory.

                          In the League

                          7 at 12.30 averaging 2.29 points a game
                          16 at 3pm averaging 1.94 points a game
                          6 in the evening averaging 2.17 points a game.

                          On that basis avoid 3pm kick offs for the rest of the season and we should romp it!

                            I work a lot of Saturdays, but finish work in time to make it for 3pm. 12.30 is impossible for me, so I’m definitely against them.

                              Why the 3:01 kick offs tomorrow?
