Huddersfield match changed to an early kick-off?

[JackSUFC]

Sky Sports are reporting that a number of EFL clubs have requested early kick-offs this Saturday due to the England vs France match being at 7pm.

What are the chances of us being included? Wouldn’t be against it myself, personally.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Udders fans have time to get home for 7pm.

Leave it as is!

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Works for me. I live over two hours away nowadays!

 

[MobileBlade]

Pigs are at Exeter. Their 3000 will never get back even with a 12.30 kick off.

 

[Silent Blade]

Norwich play at Swansea, will be difficult for Norwich fans to find a friendly pub in Wales!

 

[Trigger Blade]

Surely the assumption has to be that most fans, home and away, live closeish to the ground or Huddersfield respectively and can get home in good time, so no need to change.

Bringing the start forward might help some, but it will inconvenience others (eg Trig Jnr (TY)), who’s in London overnight and has booked a train that arrives in Sheff at 1222.

Bloody hope not. I plan to stay out after the match. Not a chance i'll see the game if i stay out after a 1230pm kick off

Sure they can make it to the border for kick off!

 

[GlosBlade]

Some Blades travel long distance too, no chance I’ll make it back to Gloucestershire in time for England kick off if United stays at 3pm.

Not all of us live in Sheffield. Bringing it forward would be fine with me.

Puff

The whole round of EFL fixtures should probably have been moved to the Sunday months ago, it's been known long enough that there would likely be an England game this Saturday.

Same here. Was planning on going out after the game on Saturday either way.

Leaving it as it is will allow fans to leave the game, sup for two hours, then watch the England game. Decent schedule that.

Maybe you should have told that to all the teams that moved their kickoff times last weekend on the assumption England weren't going to win the group, which we were the width of a post from doing

 

[Torrix1889]

Got a family meal booked for 6pm Saturday after the game so hoping kick off is changed....bring the meal forward to 3.30 pm, stuff our faces and home for the England game...

If the whole round of fixtures had been moved to Sunday there would have been no potential for a clash with England games at all, the world cup quarter finals are Friday/Saturday, so moving all EFL fixtures to Sunday would have meant to clashes at all for any world cup games.

Lots work satdi morning including my son

Fuck changing the 3pm KO just to accommodate Ingerland supporters, change the time of QF FFS!

This just in, kick off is now 4am to accommodate them.

 

[Blademan18891889]

As much as I'd prefer an early kick off it's hardly fair on people who have travel plans booked is it. It should stay at 3pm, fully understand people not attending this though if it affects them watching the England game.

Surely too short notice to move it now.

London Road could be messy around 9.30pm

London Road is always messy have you seen the all the litter flying about from the takeaways.

 

[Richeee]

I live 2 hours away from the Lane so it's radio 5 live for me on the drive home

 

[Snowflake]

Make it 12.30 so we can all be back for Strictly ! Oops, forgot, they have moved it to avoid our match with HT !

 

[Pedro Verde]

Leave it at 3pm FFS
We get enough fucking about with KO times due to Sky
