West Ham - Change to KO time (now 2pm)

[Kippaxian]

Now moved to 2 pm from 4.30.
Hopefully people with booked trains will still be ok.

Bit of a shitter changing the time less than 2 weeks before the game

Yeah, was just going to post this. Hopefully it doesn't scupper anyone's plans.

I'm not sure why the kick-off time has been brought forward but I'm guessing it could be to do with West Ham's Europa League commitments - if they get to the final it's 3 days later

 

[Silva's Magic Boot]

Bit shite this - have tickets to watch the women in the FA Cup Final at Wembley thinking it'd finish in time to watch this game on the TV. Clashes with the 2.30 KO now.

 

[ridderz]

Ah a bit shit for sure! Any ideas why it was changed?

 

[Corky]

Fuck right off, they haven't even given any explanation and erodes all contingency time.

Wait until 99% of tickets are sold then announce it.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Fuck the fans, these times are for the 'armchairs!

They could have waited 2 more days, I can’t see the Hammers getting to the final. Sky’s statisticians, at the request of the Dippers, must have worked out we get less points away at 2pm kick offs :-)

Leaves the “armchairs” with Everton v Brentford at 4:30, not sure what the thinking is. As Silva said (above) Women play their FA Cup final at 2:30 that day, would have been perfect for those that don’t attend away games. It wouldn’t happen if the old Sky Big 4 were involved.

Really shoddy to change this as such short notice. They don't give a shit about the fans.

 

[SB Blue]

Booked train last night, arriving into Kings Cross just before 12 I thought we’d have a nice leisurely afternoon now it’s a rush to a hotel to drop bags off as we’re staying over and then on to the game!! Wonder if they’ll really take the piss and move it back to 4:30 if West Ham lose to Frankfurt?

It really doesn’t make any sense, if it’s due to West Ham’s possible participation in the Europa final we could have played on the Saturday, either before the Cup final or after. I seem to remember the Rags won the league on the day we beat Stoke in the FA Cup final on a Saturday.

Brentford Fans getting free tickets due to the late notice, I hope hope City do the same! They all have clearly known about this earlier than today to make such a policy decision for a coordinated release at 10am.

There has been a change to Brentford's Premier League fixture schedule with an alteration in kick-off time for our final away game. Everton v Brentford has been selected for live broadcast by Sky Sports. The match will remain on Sunday 15 May, but will now kick-off at 4.30pm.

The match was originally set to kick-off at 2pm. It is being played on Sunday 15 May due to the Emirates FA Cup Final taking place the day before. The selection for live broadcast and alteration to the scheduling of West Ham United v Manchester City, also taking place the same day, means a change to our kick-off time.


Given the fixture change and the disruption caused, Brentford FC has decided to credit all supporters who have already purchased a ticket for the match with the value of their Everton ticket. This credit will be added to the accounts of those who have already bought tickets for the match.

The support we have had this season has been unbelievable. We thank all our supporters for the backing we have received home and away - it has made a huge difference to the team.

We apologise for the inconvenience of this late change to the kick-off time but hope the credit for those who have already purchased their tickets will help to compensate for any change in travel plans.

The match will be Brentford's third meeting with Everton this season and second trip to Goodison Park. The Bees beat Everton 1-0 in West London in November, with Ivan Toney scoring the only goal. Ivan was on the score sheet again in February when the teams met in the FA Cup Fourth Round, but Everton got four of their own this time to win the tie.

Nope. Not going to make kick off now. Why do we bother?

There were PL games on the same day as the FA Cup final for a few consecutive seasons around 10 years ago.
The FA and PL then agreed that it wouldn’t happen again in the future as it was devaluing the occasion of the final.

 

[Blue Smarties]

West Ham fans equally seem pissed at the late change. Wonder if there’s a joint message the fans can demonstrate at the match.

 

[blue corby]

Bloody great !!! Train due in at 13.46 !!!! Good job fans mean more and football is nothing without them .

Don't consult the rag fan's, they're useless.

City have simply issued a statement with the new time and updated the kick off time on the website. Just suck it buttercup.

Not even an apology from City. They could not give a less of a shit about their supporters.

Why has this happened?
