Changes to Champions League Qualification 2018-19 onwards

Can't see how English teams would escape early starts, some Thursday night games kick off early.

They don't make English teams play home games at 6pm in the Europa League.

Liverpool had to play at 6pm once in the Round of 32 and we had to play at 5pm on a Tuesday once (against Porto also round of 32), but this was due to the number of English teams progressing and drawn at home.

In the group stage no English team has played a home game at 6pm.

I'm pretty sure I've been to a home game at 18.00 in the past, was it Kiev or a Scandinavian team?

Kiev was a 6pm game as was Porto if I remember correctly. Also, the UEFA cup had cheaper tickets some that can offset the inconvenience

Fair enough I'll take your word for it.

Henry Winter just posted on twitter that English Teams will not be scheduled to kick off at 6pm at home, only away games, so thats a bonus. Might be easier for match going fans to get back from a European away too.

If we stopped putting the fecking clocks back, they'd kick off at 7 and 9, although everyone would then be moaning about late kick offs, I suppose....
