The EFL have confirmed that the final round of 2023/24 Sky Bet League One fixtures will kick-off at an earlier time than initially scheduled on Saturday, April 27th.

This means Charlton’s final game of the season - a trip to Adams Park to take on Wycombe Wanderers - will now kick-off at 12.30pm.

    Sky aren’t allowed to televise 3PM matches on Saturday. Therefore, has to be moved if they want to show any matches on TV.

    Why...don't make any sense at all, and again any travelling fans are put second best in the decision making regarding fixture kick off times...3pm on a Saturday afternoon should be kept for the last day, after all, everyone kick off at  the same time on the last day...just stupid...🤷‍♂️
     The last game of the season has not been at 3pm on a Saturday for quite a few years, because two games will be live on Sky TV & cannot be shown at that time because of the 'blackout', also how will the earlier kick off time affect the attending fans?

    Fans will be affected as they will need to get up earlier to travel, less time socialising with other fans pre-game, and if that way inclined, having a drink or two.  I have never been to a 12:30 KO with a decent atmosphere as everyone is still half asleep and not warmed up. 
    Plenty of time to socialise & drink after the game.
    Travelling to  the game as you know can be bad enough for a 3pm, never mind the 12.30 KO, and yes i know about Sky and the money men controlling everything in football nowadays...still a pain in the arse for a lot of fans, who as i said are second choice when these decisions are being dreamt up...🙄

    I'm sure SKY would prefer to show games at 3pm so not their fault!

    Blackout seems to be an own goal in this case. Who benefits?

    Or maybe we just need to do away with the 3pm blackouts…

    What do we think impacts an attendance more? Moving it to 12:30 kick off or having it be available on TV?

    I'm surprised they dont just do this scheduling at the start of the season...

    With four changes on the way up I made Blackpool for a 12.30 last day of the season about 10 seasons ago.

    This.  Everyone knows that this is going to happen to enable TV coverage so I don’t know why they don’t decide which division is going to be early, which division is going to be late ko and which poor sods are going to be punted to Sunday back in August.  Would make planning overnight a lot easier too, if needed

    As mentioned on another thread late 60s we made sure of getting to Blackpool on time by leaving on a couple of coaches from the Valley about 11pm friday night. Was playing football in the Blackpool FC car park around 6/7am  :D Oh by the way it was a 3pm kick off

    Good news for Chuks, a longer gap between this game and our matches in May. Going to need him when Wickham and LuaLua are gone.
    What are these games in May then ?

    OK KO at 14.59, or 14.58 etc or even 1700hrs. I don't understand these rules, with VPN's etc many people are watching anyway, so wake up FA (or EFL or whoever) the world has changed.

    Is this why our home Saturday matches kick off at 15:03 or 15:04, so that Scotty (or whoever's hosting when he's taking TalkSport's shilling), Brownie or Curbs (holidays notwithstanding) aren't breaking the law re 3pm blackout?
