Kick off (v Charlton) is at 1pm today

[The Reverend]

Only just noticed this. Posting on here in case it’s news to anyone else.

Any particular reason we are kicking off early? Are we on tele?

[Proposition Joe]

Think most of our recent home Boxing Day games have been 1pm if I recall?

[Proposition Joe]

Don't really know why, mind, but I don't dislike it.

[Story of O]

There are only two 1pm games today

Yes, it's been an early Christmas kick off for a long time now, but why.? Someone did give a reason a few years back but I can't remember what it was.

in the distant past, the police would not allow London clubs to host other London clubs on a Bank holiday at 3pm owing to numbers of police needed for games when they had large crowds at other events, eg christmas sales, etc

at one time I think all games had to kick off at 11am. This seems to have been relaxed since the 1970s/1980s hooligans got too old to fight without zimmer frames

Seems a small crowd

Seems a small crowd

Have they been measuring the height of the fans today?
