New Years Eve Match Now At 1pm.

[Tyler Durden]

Which is a load of bollocks but there we have it.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

In co-operation with SYP.

 

[Ricky]

Absolutely pointless.

In fact it's laughable. How are the police allowed to dictate when football matches are played based on extremely weak (non existent) reasons?

 

[nopigfansintown]

FFS!

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Absolutely pointless.

For Northampton i hope it is.

Given public transport starts knocking off around 6 it makes sense to me.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Given public transport starts knocking off around 6 it makes sense to me.

How about you let people be offended and outraged without spouting facts and common sense?

The last train from Sheffield to Northampton is at 19:55.

It would be quite refreshing to see United post something like this on the website:

"In response to the advice from South Yorkshire Police on changing the kick-off time to 1pm, we have told them to fuck right off and have counter-advised them that their shower of morally corrupt and incompetent set of cunts are the last fuckers on earth who should be advising anyone on crowd control given their "colourful" history."

 

[Maidenhead]

The last train from Sheffield to Northampton is at 19:55.

And if you're from Northampton and want to go to the game and then go home for a night out you now can.

Given the date it seems like a very sensible move to me.

How do you know that clubs didn't approach SYP to ask if the kick off could be brought forward?

Why blame the current crop for something that happened 30 years ago?

 

[blade too long]

agree with Maidenhead , means we can start the NewYears celebrations after 4pm and get home on public transport , as we will have been drinking

 

[Ricky]

And if you're from Northampton and want to go to the game and then go home for a night out you now can.

They could've done that anyway. All 300 of them.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I wonder how many games in the EFL will follow suit and ko earlier.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Because that's not all that's happened.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

In total agreement don't see the problem, or is this knock the Blades day?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Can't understand the fuss with this one, it's in the holiday season, restricted public transport and it gives us extra drinking time after the match to celebrate the 3 points and new year (which will be a promotion one).

Got a good point there , write to the club
oh hang on make it 11 am let cobblers fans travel up without a 5 am start

 

[Bladesway]

Grrrr I'm angry. What about I'm not sure but this seems like a reason for rage.

I'm so angry i might even dress up as a clown and go do bad stuff.

American mileage chart?

 

[s4-blade]

Dont see why SYP want to change it, I haven't seen a single copper at the lane this season. Not one. Change of policy or cost cutting?

I'd imagine with the extra police out on the streets because it's New Year they won't want to want hundreds of football fans stopping out when public transport ceases early possibly exacerbating any possible trouble.

Other than work or travelling Blades having to get up earlier I can't really understand the reaction save for those who have to bash the club for something.

It seems like a sensible decision.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of games starting at a similar time,new years eve night is always a big attraction (parties etc, )common sense Decision
but if it adds a few thousand to the gate what's wrong with that ?.The club is running a business.

 

[derfblade]

Pub at 10 am, match, back to pub by 4pm......lovely!

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

you on about LYDON .....

Cocky little fucker...

I endorse without question.
100%

 

[Hartley Hare]

I am still smarting about the Coventry change to a Thursday evening.

Who is running football Sky or the Rozzers?
