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 "
No one drinks in Spoons anymore

I’m going to be excited for the next 3 weeks I dunno what you’re talking about
I think he's right to be honest. A 3.00 kick off is far better for a build up of atmosphere, than 12.00.

Yeah, they do. Good beers at ridiculously low prices - what's not to like?

We are in FA Cup 4th Round
We are home to Prem & World Club Champions - Manchester City
We are live on BBC on Sat, 12.15 Instead of 15:00
Which means anyone not able to get a ticket can still watch the game
The ground will be jumping and the atmosphere will be superb, Brizzy will be bouncing.
Why are fans complaining, seriously some people will never ever be happy and always find something to moan about.
Enjoy the build up
Enjoy the game
But more importantly let’s get behind the team tomorrow v Pboro.

Calm down Stan, we're only discussing the offbeat time given for this game.

I'm not revelling in anything. I said it was the worst possible time for Orient fans. I know the realities of a noon kick off in a big game, the fans are never up for it. There's no time for the atmosphere to grow around the ground and then inside it. That's a reality.

Saturday 3pm is obviously the best slot but since it's on the box - which I'm glad about - it could have been worse. The Saturday 5:15 KO would probably have been best and early starts always seem to be a bit of any anticlimax but nothing to get too upset about. It'll still be a great occasion.

Yeah, same.

All those worrying about lack of atmosphere, have you ever been to Orient? 😃 We’ll sing our two songs for the first couple of minutes, then there will be deathly silence from the 8th minute onwards after city score their third.

Or.... if we hold onto a scoreless draw by half time, there'll be the sound of quiet tension permeating throughout the ground, with everyone feeling that sickness in their stomachs, until the 89th minute when we give away a penalty.
