our game at chelsea will be moved because they're in the european super cup.

last season was the same for them, and they moved their game v reading to the mid-week after the first fixtures. maybe the same this time around?

I much prefer Saturday late kick-offs to early kick-offs or crappy Sunday/Monday games.

I'd rather have the early ones. 5.15s take up the whole day and are aimed at audiences who don't go to games.

Me too. At least you've got the rest of the day to do whatever you need to do.

Depends on how far you travel i suppose - I'm not keen on either to be honest - i prefer 3pm on a Saturday or the Sunday afternoon slot as lost as i am home for mrs easts Yorkshire puddings.

Sky are taking over the Saturday evening games and calling the program 'Saturday Night Football'.




Dancing girls and fireworks?

Whatever happened to the sky cheerleaders , certainly a bit different from the old days of a brass band playing.

Lets face it when we are at home to Chelsea, Man U, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Man City we get moved. I wish we had more away games shifted, fed up of looking forward to a Saturday 3 pm game v Fulham as a highlight!

I'm like many on here if we do get moved, the 12.45 ko on a Saturday is the more preferable one.

I think a lot of people work Saturday till about lunchtime either as their contracted hours or overtime. Plus the early kick-offs smell funny due to people that have been out on Friday nights doing putrid beer farts all game.

Boo to early kick-offs.

Don't mind the weekend games, but mid week fixtures are an utter ball ache.

Especially the away ones. Two away games I picked this year as I hadn't been to either ground- Cardiff and Southampton. Both been moved to midweek!
