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

Re: Man City date
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.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 6:29 pmI’m going to be excited for the next 3 weeks I dunno what you’re talking aboutBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 6:25 pm12:15 provides no pre match excitement.

Re: Man City date
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.

Re: Man City date
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.Rich Tea Wellin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 10:55 pmWeird you are revelling in some made up negativity when you won’t even be there and you support the other Manx teamBiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 10:06 pmStan1972 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2025 8:00 pm We are in FA Cup 4th Round

Re: Man City date
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.

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

All those worrying about lack of atmosphere, have you ever been to Orient?

Re: Man City date
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.
