Kick off times

[McFaul 35]

With the FA Cup Final being 515 on a Saturday that is a proper break from tradition that. Personally I'm not against it. Spain don't have a default time now for their league games, Italy still have 2pm on a Sunday, but wors was always 3pm on a Saturday.

 

Personally I only get to 2 or 3 aways a season, normally London ones, I actually sometimes do more pre-season aways than league ones so it might be a bit selfish but I love 530 Saturday tea time kick offs. The 3pm kick offs are often shit, the atmosphere isn't as good as the later games, and while I'm a traditionalist in most footballing things, if the default time for English football kick off times was 530 I'd be really pleased. What are your thoughts? I can see a time where 3pms are no longer the default kick off time for English games.

Prefer 3pm as for me its the right balance to enjoy a morning at home, get up to the town, throw down a few drinks, watch a game, another quick drink and back home in time evening at local pub or just chillin in front of the TV or on here.

 

Dont mind the odd evening mid week kick off as well.

I play rugby 2/3pm on a Saturday. Been able to get to a canny few games recently since we haven't had a 3pm Saturday kick off for like 3 months.

honestly I prefer any that aren't 3pm saturday since theyre more likely to be on TV and I live 120 miles away

The atmosphere is only usually shit at 3pm on a Saturday because we're not playing anybody of note (otherwise it'd have been moved for the telly) As a kick off time though it's the best, enough time to get appropriately smashed before the game and enough time for a good drink after the game. With the later kick off I have a couple of hours after the game before I have to catch the pathetically early last time home at 9.50pm.
