A rare event - a home match on Saturday at 3pm

[1973Blade]

Our last Saturday home game at 3pm was against Hull City on 4th November. If the Villa game is called off due to the 4th Round of the FA Cup, our next Saturday 3pm home game is against Burton Albion on 3rd March. I intend to enjoy a rare home match played at the traditional time.

Like the good old days under Weir/Clough/Adkins.

Good morning walk with the dogs, early bar, great chat with the lads and leave the Cremorne at 2.50 and still make kick off.

By 3.05 it's all gone tits up.

Those were the days.....

Make the very most of these days...

This day next year we'll be playing Manchester City at 1735 on BTSports.
Not yet decided if it's BDTBL or The Etihad.

Could be wrong but I seem to remember Man U went a whole season without a 3pm Saturday kick-off a few years ago.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Its a sign of us being "good" and the others being "shit".............so the song goes.

There’s 10 fixtures over a weekend. 7 of which are on this times. Saturday 3pm can have as few as just 3 fixtures!!

Still, modern football eh?

BDTBL will have been renamed the Amazon Stadium (or BDTAS)

There's often 3 live games on a Sunday and also non-televised 3pms so you're looking at potentially 10 different kick-off times.

Great for the armchair fan, crap for travelling punters.

Although I do quite like the Saturday 5:30 kick off. At Villa last week following the other scores before kick off.

At what point does TV football become a HD sore rather than a pleasant couple of hours enjoyment?

A repeat of that Hull game would go down a treat!

Football for me has always been about 3pm on a Saturday ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper... dad would give me a bit of pocket money to nip down the newsagents in the morning to pick up the weekly Roy of the Rovers, run back home to read it over dinner which was usually steak and kidney (not the punched variety! ) pie, chips and beans and then off down to the footy!

Wish it was still like that.

You're younger than me, Roy Of The Rovers was well past its sell by date! Match Weekly and Shoot were the magazines to get!

I go whenever it is a 3pm Saturday, so my last game was that Hull City match!

Fixtures list is a disgrace! Robson out.

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Nooooo...Roy of the Rovers was still great when I was getting it (the comic that is!)...

Around 1987 till it did go downhill circa 1992/93 when the artwork went completely shite and then nobody bought it so the publication folded...I kept every copy as well.

Loved Billys Boots, Hot Shot Hamish, Mighty Mouse and Goalkeeper

1992 the year football was destroyed by the Premier League and new artwork in Roy Of The Rovers!

I'm more concerned with the squad rotation issues with Sunday Premier League games followed by Champions League on a Tuesday

Lundstram for the Premier League, Coutts for the Champions League, Simples!

Sitwell 'the usual'
No wonder she didn't have a clue what that meant.

I don't like Saturday 3pm matches anymore
