    The earlier we lose, the more of your weekend it ruins!

    Even 3pm's early compared to when we used to kick off at 3.15 so people could down their pints when pubs stopped serving at 3pm.

    I also remember us kicking off about noon on Boxing Day 1982 against Wednesday, a crap 0-0 draw.

    I thought the 3.15 kick offs were to do with shifts at the pit?

    Lets get all home kick offs to quarter past 12. Less time waiting around for the match to start when you wake up, home sooner and for the club they can save abit more on floodlights during the darker months.

    Or maybe we could stage all games at 6.30am on Thursday's to discourage anyone attending.

    You have taste. More downtime between going out at night to just chill and can always watch Soccer Saturday then. Wouldn't want it for away games though as imagine Colchester for example kicking off at that time :)

    Worse things than the kick off time. Like how slooooooooooow the catering staff serve customers despite queues to the back of the stands by the exit gates and whoever decided to play at half time the most annoying song of the year (probably the decade) by Justin Bieber to try and cheer us up in the wet/cold losing 1-0.
