tbh, 12.30, 3pm or 5.30pm on a Saturday all allow time for a quencher or two before and/or afterwards, so either fine with me. Sunday matches less so, esp late on.
Matches on Saturday at 5:30 or later are a real pain for those of us who travel from Scotland as it entails a hotel stay and a a trip back on Sunday. We will have had five or six late Saturday home matches in a row: Chelsea, United, Leicester, Sheffield United, Everton, and Port Vale.

We ended up selling the Sheffield United tickets on the Exchange out of weariness. We would have missed the Port Vale match had we not been en route to a holiday in Egypt and the match fitted in with travel plans. Late Sunday matches are less of a problem.

I am still not convinced why the match is at 17:31. The argument about overseas TV screening is bollocks as there are likely to be more opportunities in South Asia and the Far East than in the Americas.

Christmas Day obviously starts a bit earlier in Scotland too I see, but Merry Christmas to you pal.
Yes, you’re right, and I was being unduly parochial tbf. For 3pm kos it much still involve a lot of travelling.
I have a relative who travels up from Devon who has similar issues. For 3pm he can get a 7.30am train, and get back if needed, but 5.30pm, and it’s welcome to Premier Inn once again.
Anyway, at least you’ve got Egypt to enjoy :-)

5.30pm is just about worse time for a KO to me, well of course until the day comes that we play at 4am to suit china !

do sympathise with you travelling then having that ridiculous KO time.
 
Tried ringing the ticket office with a problem on the Port Vale ticket and waited 20 minutes without response and no indication where l was on the queue.

But which fucking idiot decided it was a good idea when people are already pissed off waiting to play that awful jazz music to piss them off even more?
