The York home game in 1996 was an 11.00am kick off

Barca once kicked off at five past midnight...beat that.
Coventry once played Burton at 8am.

Article in the paper tonight saying there is only one train Fulham fans can get that arrives before Ko, and that gets in at 11.
Ko time was requested by BBC Wales apparently

Albion v Torquay on Good Friday 1972 springs to mind. I think that kick-off was 11.00 or 11.30. We won 3-1 by the way, all three goals in the last eight minutes and another step to promotion!

We had an 11:30 kick off at Leicester on Boxing Day back in the early 90's if I remember correctly. Drove up from Worthing and the roads were so empty we had to head north of Leicester to Forest East services to find somewhere open for breakfast. Seem to recall than several hundred Albion fans made it there for kick off only to be annoyed as the locals couldn't get out of bed and the kick off was delayed.

BBC yet to respond to complaint over 'insulting' kick-off move.
Fan groups at Fulham and Cardiff City have written to BBC Wales expressing their dismay at the corporation's decision to reschedule the kick-off of their FA Cup tie to 11.30am for television broadcast.
FSF affiliates The Fulham Supporters' Trust and Cardiff City Supporters' Trust have written a joint letter to the head of sport at BBC Wales to make their displeasure at the unusually early kick-off time known. Currently, there is only one direct pre-match train service available to Fulham fans, arriving into Cardiff at 10.59am.
"Picking a time of 11.30am is particularly insulting to the supporters who are the lifeblood of the game," said Neil Springate, FSF national council member and the Fulham Supporters Trust secretary.
"We are appreciative of both clubs' attempts to provide free travel options for their fans, but any previous planned initiatives to improve attendance at this fixture will have been doomed by this decision.
"As a public service broadcaster, BBC Wales should have a duty to consider the wider implications of their scheduling - and the fact that you have chosen this kick-off time shows just how far the ordinary fan has slipped down the pecking order in the modern game."
At the time of publication, the BBC has yet to respond to the complaint.

Like anyone in TV gives a feck, ask anyone who wanted to be at 'Boro for a 12.30 kick off last term.
Half the crowd would be too pissed to find the ground if we had a midnight kickoff.
It would be magnificently chaotic but potentially an awful lot of fun. I'm all for it.

Two seasons in a row. The last game of the season is always an early kick off, so someone organising the fixtures must have been having a laugh.

Didn't we play Pompey at Withdean on a Saturday with a very early KO ?
