12.15 kick off times

[Russ]

Stupid if you ask me. Why can’t someone stand up and just say no?

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Or remain seated and say no.

 

[djbaldken]

The club does nt have a say. Its down to South Yorkshires finest.
Ridiculous today. When has there ever been trouble between us and Roverum!

 

[Ricky]

Do the club ever challenge these things?

Rotherham is about the friendliest match we'll have. Yet it couldn't even have been 12:30 or 13:00 could it, let alone 15:00? Nah... 12:15.

Ridiculously unnecessary and kills the atmosphere even more.

 

[Harry's Game]

Banning of away fans completely is the next rung on the ladder.

Then SYP’s ultimate goal.. behind closed doors games.

 

[Russ]

At least half a dozen stewards stood doing nowt all game in the corner between the away fans and the John street stand. Along with about the same amount of police. Most of which were just watching the match. As they had nothing else to do.

 

[Topplayersleave]

SYP Intelligence eh ?
Never, ever, ever has there been a problem between us and Rotherham fans and you'd think they'd know this

 

[DI36O]

Yeah really felt the tension around the ground, would probably have broken into a riot if not for our beloved SYPD.

 

[zablade]

I counted 30 police officers in full gear in the Howard Steet, Paternoster Row area before kick off, all stood around with arms folderd with nothing to do but no doubt picking up double time overtime, natch.

 

[Maidenhead]

I love em, less to drink before the game and loads of time after before I have to go for a train home.

12.15 Saturday, best kick off time on earth, we should play all games then.

 

[Boxer Blade]

Is the kick off time definitely down to SYP and whatever they say, is that it? What if they decide 3 p.m, is no longer the best time to police matches and they want all games to start at 12.15 on either Saturday or Sunday, what happens? Surely the league (s) will tell them to do one and if they do why can't we for a match against rovrum

 

[SwissBlade]

Worked out perfectly for me, on a training camp in lanzarote and managed to squeeze a 2.5km Swim, breakfast, 8km run before lunch where we watched the game. Then after got another 2km Swim in and a strength and conditioning session done.

Bloody hell mate, I'm knackered just reading that

Too windy to cycle so we took an easy day... apparently

Sod off

 

[BigBed]

One word. Wank, unless it's Wembley.

Yeah,not a bad day for SYP...double time,not much to do,and a nice early finish and home for tea with the Mrs...i was wondering why they moved it from 3 pm.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Its a strange feeling walking out of the ground at a time when i would normally be walking to it.

 

[pudseyblade]

Don't agree, but can get over it once every so often if it means I can get another game in groundhopping @ 3pm (Frecheville yesterday, I wasn't the only one!).

Guessing someone did this all on your behalf and you watched with a G&T

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

I like a 3.00 ko, and do think weird ko times affect the atmosphere, but I must admit I enjoyed a post match mini pub crawl round Kelham Island, pizza for tea courtesy of esteemed Forgeblade, and home for just after 7.30! And we won again!!

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

The strangest one was Yeovil away. Our first ever meeting with them in 2011. 12:30 kick off. “Risk of trouble” was what the coppers told me at the time. Its just made up on the spot at times

Ok ok we get it Swizzler , you’ve got a big gaff and estate
Pity us poor people on Ryanair and in air B&B’s

 

[wizadry]

I reckon the Derby vs The pigs game had something to do with the early kick off time yesterday?

Does seem a bit stupid when the game v Millwall is a 3-00 kick off.
I know which game is likely to cause police problems and its not the Rotherham game which went off with no trouble.
Millwall have a reputation for causing trouble ,a strange decision that one.

I saw a thread on Twitter the other day which suggested this was originally at danger of being moved but the Millwall supporters trust (I think) and some other groups got involved and worked hard to stop it from being moved so kudos to them in fairness and proof surely that it can be done.

I hung around to clap the team off and I got chatting to some people so, by the time I was walking down Bramall Lane, it was near-deserted. Apart from around 100 coppers in full riot gear. I walked between two of them who were dressed in flameproof overalls, riot helmets, knee and elbow protectors and big sticks. They were WPCs in full make-up and about 5' 2" tall. True.

 

[Mumbo]

Worked out great for me our lass fancied a threesome with the Russian model next door,the pierced vag and the multiple orgasms were interesting.Had a 2 hour session and shot mi load 3 times.....not done that for 20 years!.Breakfast in bed,Champagne and strawberries then chilled out in the Jaccuzzi...
Checked my lottery numbers....fkn won......again!.
Still had time for a couple of pints before the game.
Early kick off ? No problem.
