Must be. We don't usually come out until almost dead on 3pm & the other week HT was almost 20 mins.killerandflash said:

Have said before,CP was warned a couple of times, maybe even fined. They came out today at 14.58 which is certainly 5 minutes too late. I would have thought the referee could prevent it.0

We nearly always click off three or four minutes past 3pm0

I thought our team usually starts to play at 4.04 and not 3.04.4

Maybe the batteries of the clock in the changing room need changing?0

It's to frustrate the knackers off of supporters and add bum clenching suspense to the occasion. Although to be honest I have supported Charlton for 47 years and they pretty much do that anyway for free!0

Every home game without fail I say to raytreacy69 it's 3 pm why the fuck ain't we kicking off.
It's because the match sponsors don't come on to the pitch for their photos until 2.59.
It may be a small thing to moan about to some people but it seriously pisses me off.
It's totally unprofessional and needs to be addressed.8 -
The first train into Charing Cross usually leaves at 17:06. Then a long-ish wait for the next one.
The late kick-offs every week mean that hardly anyone gets that train and the police have to deal with large numbers of people waiting and queuing to get on to the platform.
Not that important - but surely it's a courtesy to everyone that the match kicks off at the advertised time unless there's some reason for it not to!

I arrived spot on 3pm this week but didn’t hear what we were remembering as I was making my way to the seat and the North Upper was quite busy. Anyone know what the remembrance minutes applause was remembering? Ta0

Annual tribute or not it's not unusual for kick off to be 3-4 mins late. Even the second half often doesn't kick off until 4.10pm with a 5pm finish almost the norm these days at home. Sometimes even half time is nearly 20 minutes.
Glad it's not just me who's noticed this. I also think it's sloppy when by the time we've kicked off the second half goals are already going in around the grounds elsewhere.3 -
The next train is then nearly always a 4 car train...stevexreeve said:The first train into Charing Cross usually leaves at 17:06. Then a long-ish wait for the next one.

It may not seem important in the grand scheme of things, but as some have already said it can cause problems for fans who are using the trains to travel.
In Scotland they seem to be much more strict about the kick-off times, and presumably the length of half-time as well. Many Scottish games seem to finish bang on 4:45 or just a minute or two later. Perhaps that is because Scottish fans who use the trains to travel (especially those from smaller towns) may have a much less frequent service than we do in London or even elsewhere in England.
The English football authorities should tighten things up here too, for the benefit of traveling supporters.1 -
Recognising that we are virtually always amongst the last of the results to come through, it was interesting that our one minute of applause did not start until some time past 3 pm yesterday. I would have assumed the ref would have been in charge of timing and ensured the teams came on to the pitch early enough to ensure that could have been incorporated into a 3 pm kick off.bobmunro said:
