Man City date

[Orient Punxx]

My City mate can easily get home to Chorleywood.

[OyinbO]

Confirmed: 1215 Saturday

[banqo]

12-15 kick off, Live on BBC 1.

[Mistadobalina]

Rubbish kick off time that.

Rubbish kick off time that.

Could have been worse

[LPE]

Very disappointing.

Possibly a flatter atmosphere, very early starts for a lot of people and the pubs will lose out on a payday which they’ll badly need after dry January.

[OyinbO]

the pubs won't lose out on a payday if we win, mind you

[gshaw]

12-15 kick off, Live on BBC 1.

Excellent news, glad it's televised

[Hoover Attack]

Because we always do so well on the tv….

that was nailed on

Midday kick off was the one I wanted least. Kills any chance of an atmosphere and feels like a fundamentally wrong way to watch football.

[KingLes]

Anyone know how much TV money we get ?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Happy it’s a weekend and on the tv in case I don’t get a ticket. Good exposure and some cash for us too.

[OyinbO]

Anyone know how much TV money we get ?

Think it was £110,000 last season: https://www.thefa.com/news/2024/jan/11/ ... s-20241101

Just seen it 125k serious money

[Max B Gold]

Last season it was £125K if on normal telly; £55k if streamed.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Assume average ticket price is about 25 quid we should earn about £300k including concessions. Decent.

Rubbish kick off time that.

Its the worst kick off time for Orient fans and its not great for City fans.

[Story of O]

So Thursday night would have been better

[PKM]

Could have been worse. There does seem to be an incredible amount of fannying around with the ko times and we’re not even in the Premiership, yet.
Football should be played at 3pm Saturday , plus the night matches.
But we are in thrall to the tv companies and this is the result. Tradition goes out the window.

Disagree. Saturday at 8 would cause some difficulty to get home. Mon Thursday evenings not ideal. This is my preference tbh 12.15 on a Saturday if not 3.00

12:15 provides no pre match excitement. Complete damp squib.

Spoons in Stratford & Leytonstone will be serving pints from 9.00, plenty of time to build-up "excitement "

I’m going to be excited for the next 3 weeks I dunno what you’re talking about

Tell me that again at 12:00 on the 8th of Feb when there’s no atmosphere
