Admin Ian M Posted February 12, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I see Drew Peacock has asked the question of Mark Kelly if the club has considered pushing kick offs back to 8pm on weekdays given how bad traffic is in Bristol. As a quick guide to how the OTIB public feel about this, please answer the poll above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Is the clubs or the FA that determine the KO time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyolly Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Last train back to London at 2235 is just about doable with a 1945 KO. Would prevent a lot of fans who get that service attending if it was any later. Please don't change it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky89 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Last train is already too close for me. 7:30 would be ideal!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co sign and I manage a drink while the traffic clears and then a Club Cars taxi that I send through ASDA carpark - best shortcut there is after games!

In our league Reading and Bolton at least both have 8pm as their standard midweek time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Train to WSM, Burnham, Bridgwater and Taunton at 22.00 from Parson St. So please leave KO time as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 That's pretty clear cut and conclusive so far then - 28 votes - 14 each 50/50 ...Might as well toss a coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm with Clarky. 7:30 would be mint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I would also love to see 19:30pm starts again, if its good enough for the Daffy cup its good enough for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'd rather they didn't have Tuesday night games at all. That said, if they did mix the times up that would be iinteresting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted February 13, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Would 15 minutes REALLY make enough difference? I wonder why the two teams have the 8pm kick off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJS Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 8pm please. Traffic is so bad on a weekday and then trying to park on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in City centre and live in Yate. Last train back is 22:10, so I'm with you here. Unless there was a shuttle service directly back to BTM rather than a bus that hits the centre first then all well and good, but I end up having to leave evening games early if I don't have a lift home as it is, so 8 kick offs would probably see me knock evening games on the head.

biggythecity Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 730 good for me work nights and have to leave early as I live 40 mins away,so swings and roundabouts for me,some might struggle to get there for 745 but some struggle to leave at 940!!

Clarky89 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Think this proves, evening kick off time is never going to appease all! Stick with Saturday at 3 and extend the season into the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a fixture questionnaire which is completed by the club in conjunction with the police and this offers the choice of preferred day and kick-off time. https://www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/media/5568816/redacted-document.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That time would also be more beneficial to younger supporters. Their parents wouldn't complain they're getting home too late on a school night etc. I'd also go back to just a ten minute interval and then you'ld be out of the ground by 9.15. Better for children and better for those exiles who've a long drive or train ride back home. Damn! I forgot, 8.00pm KO with the second half starting at 9.00pm is much more convenient for TV programme schedule planners and satisfying their demands is what the game is all about these days.

Bristol Rob Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Probably value in mixing it up a bit where time allows. A few earlier kick offs and a few later ones. Assuming if you are an away fan travelling from the darkest north, a six thirty kick off is just as inconvenient as a seven forty five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 slightly prefer 8 pm, given bristols parking problems, would give people more time to park up and get to the game after finishing work, more drinking time ! also city would be able to make a small bit of money, after all we have a new ground with many food/drink outlets, however i do feel, for people who have to catch a train, however i feel that is a very tiny minority, after all parson st is hardly bristol temple meads !!

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted February 16, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I usually work 12.00-22.00, so a 22.30 KO would suit me fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliesboots Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 8pm, would save a bit of cash getting a later flight to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
