nickolas Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 To deal with the Reading hooligans??! no. I dont think that either. Theyre normally quieter than a field mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play at 12 and Weds don’t play until the evening, away at Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 At a guess - it could be the Old Bill dictating the ko time. Maybe they thought that as Reading is relatively close they’ll bring a large following ( correct ) and are adopting the most effective strategy to deal with it...........

JoeAman08 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 The rest thing does not sound right either as everyone is playing Friday then Monday. Not sure you can ask to play earlier just to gain a few hours advantage over another side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s our home game, we could have played the game tonight if we had wanted to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably disrupts their pre-game routing for a day if they travel on the day despite it being just 90 minute drive given the early start, due to players being up earlier than they would be, match day food etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure you can ask to play earlier just to gain a few hours advantage over another side I think this was announced pretty much as soon as fixtures came out last summer, and that was the reason given. Like you I’m surprised clubs have that flexibility to gain what could be perceived as a competitive advantage, but it does seem so. I guess the reason it doesn’t happen often - or seem so - is it would in reality need a local club happy to set off for a midday kick off and agree that for their fans. Even then ordinarily it would be Police dictated. As it happens it’s Reading, one of the most vanilla teams in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedYoshi Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hope the majority of our squad have been larks this week: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30957720 Quote The results showed a peak performance in late afternoon, but then the scientists looked separately at early-type people, late-type people and those in the middle. This time the gap between the best and worst times was 26%, and a far more complicated picture emerged. Larks - or early risers - peaked at 12:00 Intermediate types peaked just before 16:00 Owls - or late types - peaked not long before 20:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
