Here I am hanging about with 2/3 hours to kill. By the time I get home from Oakwell it will be nearly 6. Can't we have earlier kick-offs so that there is at least part of the afternoon left. The days when working men finished their Saturday morning shift and went straight to the match are over. My guess is very few at Oakwell this afternoon will have been at work this morning.
Sure, I don't what's wrong with binning 150 years of football tradition to suit your timetable and save you having to hang about doing nowt. So you can make 1.30pm? Lovely. And how about away matches? Let's just play that by ear, shall we? And how about stopping the match so you can go for a wee? No trouble at all! only joshing!
I'd be up for that It's 11:30pm here and I'm proper shattered. Another two hours to wait yet though. I predict another match where I decide to listen while lying on the floor with my eyes shut only to wake up in the morning with a sore back, clueless as to the result. Give the FL a ring and see what they say. Explain that budmustang's Sunday mornings are a write off. 9am kick offs would be ideal.
Re: Sundays 1:30pm... Working on a Saturday? That's for people that are lucky enough to get paid overtime. Never been paid overtime in 24 years of working. Time off in lieu if your lucky.
Lots of people work saturdays matey. shops for example, lots of smaller shops however close.Posties work saturdays but not sundays. Thats just 2 examples...I am sure there are lots more too.I just think there would be more people available to attend sporting venues or whatever on a sunday than on a saturday.
Used to in winter before we had floodlights. Today however, I like the consistent time of 3pm as it allows me to travel awy leaving at a resonable time. The reason I dislike the Premier is, times are totally at the behest of Murdoch's Sky TV
Re: Lots of people work saturdays matey. There are lots of people work weekends, bank holidays etc and have there days off in the week, no overtime just regularly salaried and generally modestly paid as well I would say. When everyone else has their weekend off other industries have to step up to service and entertain the 9to5 masses. Footballers, for example HAVE to be prepared to work weekends and possibly evenings too.... Unless your name is Carlos Tevez of course. This is my first job in 10 years where I don't at least every other saturday, ironically I get to less matches than I did before. Probably because it is a £100+ day out for me.
Re: I'd be up for that No, no, no............. 3pm is absolutely perfect for me. 8 o'clock in the morning here...cup of tea, breakfast.... all done by 10a.m. so the rest of the day to get things done. Not sure what I'll do for the last game of the season, mind.
