There's no logic to THFC.
We get points when you least expect them.
Except Chelsea. Where we lose when you most expect them.

Beat City away when they're at their best.
Lose/draw to Chelsea anywhere when they're at their worst.

I think a draw is the best we can hope for and it might be an ugly, difficult match to watch.

I didn't get home until midnight on Monday night. Saw dads dragging kids through Victoria station at 11pm that no doubt have school in the morning.
It's even worse when the away team is at the other end of the country.

If I had it my way, I'd ban any midweek (inc Sunday) kick offs after 7.30pm and encourage 7pm.

Equally, if people live/work over two hours travel from the stadium, they won't make a 7pm kickoff if they leave work at 5 on the dot. There's only so much you can do when gentrification and many people's desire to raise families away from the city means such a large portion of London fanbases in particular aren't supporting their local team any more. 7.45/8pm is perfectly traditional and works well for many.

I generally struggle with the late nights rather than early arrivals. The main issue is always public transport for all fans. I lost over 40 minutes on Monday due to poor late connections.
Fans have the cheek to criticise those of us that leave a few minutes early, but don't understand the knock on effect it has if we don't.

There won’t be a problem with late connections on Tuesday; the tube drivers are on strike so there won’t be any trains to be late.

I’m not sure how 40k people are going to get to/from the game.

It's literally swings and round abouts. Some can't make it late, some can't make it early.
The late ones is bad for kids and adults who have early starts.
Th early one is only really bad for adults who really can't arrange work hours to suit it.
If I had to be there at 5 and really wanted to be there at 5, I would either make the hours up another day or take the afternoon off.

It always used to be 7.30 during the week but football wasn’t owned by Sky/TNT then!

I don't know what they think they're gaining by having Bournemouth City at 7.30 and Spurs Chelsea at 8.15
You can only watch one or the other.
I'm not watching 45 minutes of one then the rest of the other.
It doesn't achieve anything.
Just have them BOTH kick off at 7.30

Chelsea should be distancing themselves from him, really.
