When do would you prefer the first league match at the Amex to kick-off?

[El Presidente]

Tradition or move it for TV purposes so that more fans can watch the match?

 

[Braders]

3pm on a Saturday , just how football should be.

 

[Hungry Joe]

Anything other than Friday evening for personal reasons only.

 

[BensGrandad]

That is a loaded poll as I would like it to kick off at 3.00pm and be shown on TV but rules do not permit that so I am happy for it to be switched to 5.15 and shown on TV.

How is it a loaded poll? All I have done is shown the possible options, you are asking for something that is not feasible.

THAT should be the poll... not the one you did.

I would vote for 3 pm

but if you said a) at 3pm or b) at another time to accomodate.. I would choose b)

Im quibbling arent I?

It's a fair point, we can however add all the alternatives together though!

I was curious at to what alternative people would want most of all.

300pm

16.00 central european time

 

[Deano's Invisible Pants]

3pm will win this poll as most of the people posting will have tickets. For purely selfish reasons it would be my preference too, but if moving it allows our expat fans to watch it, while also publicising our renaissance to a national audience I could live with that. I'm a bit surprised DK has stuck his oar in on this one.

As others have said, the club will probably have little choice in the matter anyway.

SUNDAY.

Please put the game on the Sunday, pretty please.

I will never ask for anything again in life if the game is on Sunday.

 

[Marc1901]

Saturday 6th August at 3pm.

 

[Marc]

If i'm not working 3pm on the 6th
If I am working 5:15 on the 6th

 

[Birdie Boy]

Ideally i would prefer 3pm, however, my golf club has the club champs on this weekend (both days if I am lucky enough to make the cut) and this is a notoriously slow round. I have put my name down to tee off as early as possible but by having a 5:15 kick off, it will mean I will a) have plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere b) have plenty of time to soak up the beer c) others can see it on tv. Nearly totally selfish but hey, you asked!

Saturday 6th August at 3pm.

This.

I feel for people not being able to make it or get a ticket, but, 3pm on a Saturday is traditional.

Of course, if I was not lucky enough to be there then I would pray for a TV company to take up the reigns!

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Personally, the Friday night, as I have to go to a wedding on the Sat. Although obviously it should really be 3pm Saturday.

 

[fosters headband]

I am a season ticket holder and will go whatever time the KO, but I do feel for the many fans that have petitioned and fought for us to get the stadium that cannot be there. I know they will not feel the atmosphere or the thrill of walking through the gates for the first league game but they will be able to witness this memorable occasion. So I have voted for 5-15pm.

 

[simon101]

5.15 on the telly. We are all going anyway whenever its played. Lets share our lovely new home with as many as possible............. and get the Sky money !!!!

 

[GOM]

Would of course prefer Saturday 3pm but if it is televised voted for Sunday.
Saturday at 5.15 would not allow any time for a build up story as part of the program, whereas the Sunday would allow for that.
Friday is just naff and totally wrong.

 

[Stoo82]

5:15 on Saturday. Only because I need to be in London until 12 noon that day.
