Couldn't find it but if there is already a thread on this can somebody point it out please.
Scheduled for December 3rd at 3pm. Designated as Back to the Valley celebration. Extra free tickets for season ticket holders and price of £19.92 for others.
However this could clash with last 16 match for England (or Wales) in World Cup if England finish runner up in the group. Is there a contingency to change day or kick off time should that occur. I'm sure it would seriously affect the gate. Problem is nobody will know until Tuesday evening - is that too late to change?
Obviously a problem that affects all clubs from league 1 down. Can't change whole programme in advance to the Sunday as in the event we win the Group, then England play on the Sunday.

We might know sooner of we lose our first 2 opening matches & are on the plane home.
I haven't got a WC wall chart yet so no idea of the times. What time are the last 16 matches due to be played over that weekend ?0 -

If we come second in Group B, KO will be 3pm on the 3rd

And now keep these prices for the rest of the season. See if we can get some bums on seats and not lose a generation of support,which is the way we are heading now.1

I’ll be gutted if they move it to a completely different weekend.

At least the Women are playing on the Sunday 🙏🏻0 -

Hasn't the brains trust at EFL already said it's not expecting to authorise league fixture reorganisations for WC matches?0

Move the game to 12:30pm would surely be sensible for a lot of clubs?
Get revenue for the game, and then can tempt both home / away fans to hang back and watch England in Bartrams etc.2 -

I'm sure there are plenty of Charlton fans who have to travel further than I do for whom an even earlier start will be a ball-ache and Cheltenham fans wouldn't be too excited either at the prospect of a lunchtime kick-off!1 -

Is a 12:30pm KO easier for fans than a 5:30pm or 7:45pm KO, as those will be the alternative really
Its rare after all for a game to be moved to 3pm on a Sunday - Its also worth pointing out that Charlton / England will also clash if lose the World Cup Semi-Final, as the third place Play-Off will clash with Charlton vs Bristol Rovers.
Can suddenly see everyone losing interest in England again if that happens so wont be a problem0
