After 28 games - its finally happening today!

[Brian Blessed]

No I don't mean winning a game of football, but today is the first 3pm Saturday kick off since Norwich on 7th March. 28 games have been played since then without one, which is fucking ridiculous.

Start 2021 with a win.

Does that also mean we have only won three games in 28 attempts?

Was also the last match with our own fans in attendance.

28 games, that is effing ridiculous.

This isn't normal scheduling. The games are arranged singly to be televised during the pandemic under special arrangement because fans can't get into the ground. Haven't you all noticed any of this?

That was the last proper football match that we played. Over 31,000 in attendance. Only 9 months ago but already seems like halcyon days from another time.

Whatever the charade that 'Project Restart' is, it certainly isn't proper football. Just a sop to keep the TV companies in massive profit.

Note Wilder's post-match comments:- "The wheels haven't fallen off again today. I don't know if they're going to in the future but they're showing no signs of it at the moment."

Well der, obviously - but there were still plenty of Saturday 3pm games after lockdown in the summer and at least 1 or 2 every week this season so I bet there are barely any other clubs if any who've gone this long. Even the big 6 who get lots of their games shifted for TV have all had at least one Saturday 3pm ko since March.

So now we will have had at least one, just like the big 6. I don't get your point.

The point was clearly that 28 consecutive games at non-standard times is extraordinary and unprecedented. Jeez.

Calm down, if you can't take someone putting up a counter point you shouldn't post in the first place. I think your outrage at there being hardly any 3pm Saturday kick offs is way over the top in this season of all seasons. You could at least back up your point with a few stats about how many 3pms other clubs have had.
