    Early kick offs

    We used to have a thread about this phenomenon Jurgen and now Slot regularly complained about

    Apologies if there is one well off the board but there’s no search function now

    The latest instalment is that after our game v Galatassary next Wednesday we’re away to Brighton in the 12:30 kick off on the Saturday

    Thry really should have given this fixture to one of the sides playing on the Tuesday

    Last 12:30 kick off, i think it was Sunderland travelling to either Brighton or Bournemouth which we know is on the south coast. what time does that mean Sunderland fans have to start their travel? 4/5 in the morning? i dunno its utterly bizarre. TNT has no consideration for anyone

    Agreed nor has the Premier League at least it’s a home game for us prior to it, but we always seem to get these kick offs with a days less rest and a travel.

    Agree about the fans too, early start from Liverpool to get down to Brighton and in the ground

    We haven't had as many as seasons past. Last season and the ones before were absolutely ridiculous.

    That fixture 29 highlights there is poor planning. Who's allowing that? That's whats annoying, another of the big 6 will be playing Tuesday so like you say why aren't they allocated that?
    I don't buy this television aspect. There's barely any 3,pm kick offs now especially after European rounds, they can choose multiple options over the weekend for televising games.

    We haven’t had as many as we’re not playing the exciting brand of football that made us the most watched team and brought in so many lucrative sponsors and partners

    Something FSG need to consider
