This is so backwards.
I've never known an early kick - off to stop anyone drinking. It just means there's loads of people steaming drunk at 11.30am.
As far making kick - off's even earlier. :defoe:
it's shit though because quite often most of us will be nursing hangovers. Add that to the sheer amount of time it takes to get to the ground and you've missed your lie-in too.
So a hungover, tired crowd of people - hardly conducive to a good atmosphere.

I did actually consider this might be the case. Never been done before though has it? Kind of the ultimate insult to the competition as well.
For selfish reasons I'm pretty desperate or Hull to happen on the Saturday!
I still yearn for the days when all the games were at 3pm on a Saturday, yes I know I am an old saddo, but I really don't like football on Sundays or Mondays, and I like a bit of a lie in at the weekend!
Lets say it like it is.
Saturday kick offs = loads of booze and gak, loving life..then into town after to make a shameful show of oneself.
Sunday = drive to game with hangover, sit in misery next to some cunt you hate. Go home and argue with the missus because she wants YOU to iron your own work shirts.
Monday = train in straight from work, few bevvies, midnight finish, then the rest of the week seems to last one million years.
Hmmmm let me think.

Ben or Margaret?
Neither. That old rascal Dennis.
Gentle Ben every time.
All it means is that people carry on boozing well after the game. If anything kicks off anywhere, they'll link it to FV and throw the book at you anyway!
THINK OF US SUNDAY LEAGUE FOOTBALLERS!
Strange to have 4pm kick offs. I booked cheap train tickets for the Hull match at 6.30, not a chance of making that train now ffs.
One of my pet subjects. Over the last 15 years I have only missed a hand full of games, but this season will be different. A day at football is about getting there early, have something to eat, a good few beers and soaking up the atmosphere. It is not about rushing down to the game, normally bay car because the trains on a weekend don't run early enough, and then rushing into the ground. Indefinitely there is less atmosphere than usual, and the game is crap, because the players had to get up in the middle of the night to stuff some carbs down their throat.
Everyone to their own opinion, I just can't understand why you don't just watch it on the telly though. Football is about a day out. Getting to the ground 3 or 4 hours before kick off, having something to eat and 5 or 6 pints. It's like going to the cinema or theatre. I love the Saturday 5pm kick off's, as everyone seams to get to Tottenham at the same time as they would for a 3 pm kick off.
