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.
COYO’s
I’m RW we trust

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

No one wants to be racking up lines of kuf at 10am tho, do they?

12:15 works for this fixture.

Weird you are revelling in some made up negativity when you won’t even be there and you support the other Manx team

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.

Much better for me than a 2am kick off
