Now I'm confused. Wants earlier kick offs as kids have school the next day but now wants earlier kick offs so work colleagues can go. Who is picking the kids up to take to football? In short, it's the best of both worlds. Premiership supporters moan about silly kick off days and times but that's where the money is. Most of those supporters would love a 15:00 sat, 19:45 midweek scenario

Sorry, I don't understand. My point is that people going to a match direct from work are more likely to entice work colleagues (potential new fans) to go along too.
So they will not be able to take their children who are the future fans, the age group of fans is seriously old as it is. We must encourage younger fans not leave them at home.
Of course those with kids would still be able to take them. Earlier mid-week kick-off times would attract more families (including younger fans) when they have school the next morning.

Kick-Off Times
27.1 The Home Club shall fix the time of kick-off:
27.1.1 between 11.30am and 3.15 pm for Saturday matches;
27.1.2 between 7.00pm and 8.05 pm for midweek matches; and
27.1.3 between 11.30am and 8.05pm for Bank Holiday matches.
Once the kick-off time has been fixed, any amendment or variation thereto can be made only by agreement with the Away Club and with the approval of The League.

We are only talking about, what, 4 or 5 home league games per year though (plus one or two postponements)?

Despite all of that, PL matches are very well attended.

A lot of families can't attend mid-week home matches as the kids have school the next morning. Therefore how about having earlier mid-week kick-off times? just go to school tired but inspired. You learn more from life than school anyway.

Please explain how I can home from work, pick the kids up, park, then get to the ground by a 1900/1915 KO. Leave the times as it is. What difference is half an hour or so going make to families or younger fans.

You learn more from life than school anyway. It certainly increases a child’s vocabulary and demonstrates a profound respect for figures of authority! 😉

Personally I would prefer 8, like it was at Twerton, still such a rush to get from work and to the fame after work.

Half hour earlier Kick-off could make a lot of difference for families with young kids who have school the next morning. It is worth a trial if the club wants to be seen as more family friendly to attract fans.

You must really dislike your work colleagues!

How about 7.15pm mid-week Kick-off's? 30 minutes makes that much difference? Well clearly it does to someone since midweek games traditionally kicked off at 7:30 when I were a lad.

I see plenty of kids and youths at our games! I don’t really agree with the narrative of “old” fan base? We have a hardcore of 6k, it’s pretty mixed for me.

Yesterday I finished working at 5:30, rushed from Clevedon to WSM, showered, changed and out the door for 6:30 and walked throught the gates of the Mem at 7:15pm. I'm sure Im not the only one with a similar sort of turnaround. You shouldn’t have bothered with the shower, as you could have got another pint down yerneck. It’s probably wiser to shower when you come back from the Mem. that would involve exchange of money and as you know many a rovers fan are very parsimonious (except PC & SC members of course )

This is something that had been fine for all of my 40 odd years, so obviously the football powers will change it at some point...
