Altrincham on Saturday now a 12.30 ko

I'm guessing this is world Cup related but seems pointless as England will likely win the group and play Sunday at 7pm

Thanks Tommy - Has this just been announced?

 

[Tommy2holes]

Announced today. Terrible decision.

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

Might not be a terrible decision if we lose today!!

The whole of the National League and most of the EFL kick off at 1230 on Saturday.

The time change was announced nearly a month ago

Not strictly true. Only 7 of the 24 EFL games kick off at that time. A larger number have been brought forward to Friday evening.

Don't see the point. Messes up my whole day as well

 

[palexander]

This has been arranged for ages, wasnt today.

No, it's not "Breaking News", it's old news, and yes, it messes up our day also as hubby has a pick up in London, and we've got to cram in selling quizzes, raffle tickets and everything else in when there's not going to be that many people about early.

Hopefully it means the floodlights aren't needed so the club can save a bit of cash

Oh sorry, I am sure we can change this to your preferred time. Is their any other fixtures you would like to change?

Does seem strange this game got moved a month ago whereas Borehamwood remains the day of a potential quarter final and the league has a full schedule on the first semi final night, albeit not England's potential one.

If England beat Senegal, their quarter-final is on Saturday December 10th at 7pm, so hopefully time for our fans to get back from Boreham Wood. If we were to make the semi-final, this would be on Wednesday December 14th, a day after our home game against Halifax.
Oh, and the final is on the following Sunday, a day after our FA Trophy game.

Still not really a good idea to have a full league schedule on the night of a World Cup semi final. That’s going to affect attendances regardless of whether England are playing in it.

Ridiculous kick off time.
No thought given to away supporters.

The minibus will have to leave a bit early. It’s not going to affect that many fans…

3 and a half hour drive. They only need to leave at 8. There won't be many whether it be a 12.30 or 3pm kick off anyway

Do you think we can blame Ron Martin for it?
