New 19.45 Saturday kickoff - good or bad?

[Bredbury Blue]

With the new 19.45 kickoff being used for the first time, there are 4 different kickoff slots today. Too much Saturday football? 19.45 (2.45am) good idea or bad idea?

I think its a bad idea for me personally , Spurs on tonight and I'm not sure I want to sit up that late.    Game finished 4.30 AM ????

 

But is it good for the game ? Not so sure.

4 games is too much for me; I struggle to concentrate with 3. They did this last season at least once, so it must have been a success if they are doing it again. Target markets will be Africa, Europe and the Americas, as well as home.

Would there be any bars showing the match that late in Thailand?

Probably works more than ever in the UK since the pubs/clubs are dead due to being too expensive.

Too late for me unless City are playing.

I find the the teatime game (midnight here) too late after watching the earlier games; i may watch the first 30-45minutes but rarely the whole game.

Will this 7.45pm uk kickoff be popular in the uk?

As if it wasn't bad enough.

No not with fans....a 10pm trip home from Wolves on a Saturday night not popular with wives either.

 

If the wife is unhappy then the fans have no chance of being happy....especially after a defeat.

My preference is to watch my football live in the ground at 3pm on a Saturday.

Not entirely....its still my preference...1230 kick off is also OK.
