    Surely the Wigan KO moving forward helps us slightly ?

    prefer the lunchtime KO when I can't actually go, won't be quite so hot either.

    You'd assume they'd be staying overnight anyway. I wonder which hotel they'll use, have any of the regular away team hotels reopened yet?

    Yay, that's a 4:30am local kick off time here. 

    Going to email Valley Pass about full matches after the fact.

    Good point, all hotels will probably be back open by then

    Not quite sure how it works but I understood special dispensation has been granted for football teams to use certain approved hotels in the cities/towns they are visiting  for the remainder of the season.
    Someone else may have the full facts/details.

    We stayed in a hotel in Hull, so one of the hotels in Bexleyheath/Dartford will presumably be open for away sides. I assume there must be a regular hotel for when teams play Millwall as well.

    I would expect it to be directly overhead at that time!

    Can now watch the game & then turn my attention to Jeff Stelling & the boys. Result. 

    Only problem is that I now need to do the shopping earlier than normal. Dont generally get back in until gone 1pm what with the Covid queuing.

    Suits me here 9 hours ahead. 
  • It's quite short notice but I wish they had told Wigan with about six hours to kick off.

    A year or two ago when Blackburn were at Millwall I happened to see the team coach pulling out of the Hilton at Rotherhithe.

    Not a big deal of course but do prefer the 3pm kick off. Bit of lunch few beers, excitement building for the game. 12.30 just feels a bit crammed.

    If they're staying in hotels then I can't see any travel issue at play here.

    If they're worried about the heat, why don't they just kick off at 10 or 10.30 like most Sunday League teams.? 

    Don't they consider that Golfie has shopping to do?

    Yes, seems wrong to be eating lunch when watching football!

    Great news for the antipodeans ... 930 pm kick off is perfect

    I doubt there is too much advantage, but an early kick off for a home game is surely more likely to be better for us than harmful.

    Not necessarily considering Bowyer's comments about the Cardiff home game.

    2nd to last game of season. Might give any relegation rivals clearer idea of what result they need if they play later.
