Exactly. I've yet to hear a good reason why this game is being played on a Tuesday night.
Not saying it is a good reason but the Police view is that playing games in the evening stops the "high risk" groups meeting up much later in another part of town as could be the case if it was an early kick off on Saturday/Sunday. Weekend games also mean they fear the "high risk" going up to town when they are fans of other clubs around.
The police admitted that Friday was no good as it meant people going on the pish all PM and aggro at London Bridge.

CAFC shouldn't be lecturing us on "staggering journeys" when they're the ones who moved evening kick-offs to 7.45pm.
Idiots.
Why do you always stick up for the club Suzi, isn't that my job ; - )
Inspector, it does say that the it's the British Transport Police asking fans to stagger journeys rather than the "idiots" at the club. Then they go onto say don't drink too much.
So do they want us to stagger or not? I'm confused.
It may well be a BTP statement but the club are carrying it on their website.
Anyhow, from the good officer's statement, the match will kick-off at 7.45pm regardless of anything, so let's hope Palace's team bus breaks down somewhere in Catford.

What would you know about how hard it is to run a news website : - )
I do hope their bus breaks down and they don't turn up to half time. With luck we'll have held it to O-0 until then ; - )
And whats all that about staggering your journeys, dont drink to much, and they are now asking us to sing a chorus of "Onward Christian soldiers" and refrain from sex before marriage, shocking stuff from the OS.

Well we're bound to win the toss, meaning we choose ends, and then have to wait for palace to kick off...

Well done jim, its pretty bleeding obvious it's going to be over 15,000 if he'd bothered to look at our normal attendence.
I'm sure he's worth his six figure salary.
Most coppers often don't give the impression of being particularly bright.
Except those who are CL posters, officer...... (!)

As I said that was the Police's view last year.
because they got so many complaints from those who didn't want matches at 8pm because of the issues getting home afterwards.
they can't win either way.
... much to his surprise ...
