[Football] Why can’t the home Europa league games be at 5:45 as well?

[HeaviestTed]

I like to be tucked up in bed on a school night!

UK TV rights. Make more money from ads later in the evening.

 

[BN41Albion]

You're joking surely - would be an awful ko time work wise and rush hour wise. Probably the worst time possible on a week day

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Going to miss most of the first half of the Marseille game as it is due to traveling back from work.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Errr .... no ! I finish work at 5.30pm as I'm sure many others do.

 

[studio150]

Make it Thursdays at 1pm, then those travelling home won't get caught up in the rush hour.

 

[Van Cleef]

This would play havoc with my pre-game beer consumption.
Its a big no from me.

 

[Bozza]

They're not at 5:45 in Europe - they're an hour ahead.

Marseille kicks off at 6:45 local time.

 

[Chicken Run]

They're not at 5:45 in Europe - they're an hour ahead.

Marseille kicks off at 6:45 local time.

And don’t forget Greece is plus 2 hours

 

[HeaviestTed]

Can’t you all take the afternoon off and we’ll start early then I can be tucked up in bed nice and early? Please!

 

[LamieRobertson]

I’m sacking myself on Thursday at around 4.30….boss said I can have my job back Friday …winner

Blimey HT. You remind me of this guy;

Bad enough having a game on TV at 5:45pm let alone if it was a match at the Amex. Got to remember to sneak out of East London around 3pm to make sure can get back in time for the kick-off

 

[Easy 10]

I'm quite happy at Thursdays ko time thankyouverymuch.

Its my BIRFDEE, so I've secured a notional day of "WFH". I'll log off around 3.30 and mince along to Shoreham for some beerage and nosebag at the Waterside to take the game in.

Scenes.

Thank goodness you started this thread. I assumed it was the usual sort of time - would have logged in only to find it all over!

 

[Hamilton]

I like to be tucked up in bed on a school night!

Because it would be a right ball ache for everyone still at work.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Us retired folk would love it!

 

[SeagullinExile]

If you live in London you’d know why they don’t kick off at 5:45pm!

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

6:45pm would be an excellent kick off time.

Some would have to leave work an hour early, but you've got weeks to arrange that, the great majority will be able to.

You can get kids there and back home at a sensible time for school the next day

 

[SUIYHP]

Realistically 8PM is the only feasible time the match could start considering how shit the train service is.
