Tuesday vs Wednesday?

[DeKuip]

Yes it was always 7.30 on a Wednesday with a 10 minute half-time break, which was plenty of time to get a wagon wheel and piss in the bloke's pockets in front of you.
Games finished at 9.10 and you could be home in time to watch the highlights on Sportsnight with Coleman if the cameras were there, which they often were for us in the League Cup.
Only Blues used to play at home on Tuesdays - when we both drawn at home in the League Cup or had home replays in the FA Cup I'd often go to both.

Championship prefers to do Saturday-Tuesday double headers whereas premier league plays majority of its games on a Wednesday for the midweek fixtures.

Of course TV and clubs can change around aswell.

So why do some midweek games start at 7:45 and others at 8pm?

[SoccerHQ]

I think nominally games are scheduled at 7.45pm but some clubs request to start at 8pm.

Reading midweek games like last night also seem to start at 8 and Bolton's another one.

Years back we used to mainly kick off at 7.30pm.

Didn't some Uefa Cup game a few years back kick off at around 6pm and there was a mass outcry about it?
