Super Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Millwall Football Club wishes to make its supporters aware of a potential change to kick-off time when The Lions travel to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City on Saturday 19th August. The game is currently scheduled to begin at 3pm but the club has been advised that it may be moved to an earlier time the same day. The club is in continued discussions to try and avoid a change at this late stage and will provide supporters with a further update in due course in order to help avoid additional disruption to travel plans.

Pathetic, no need for it. Bet plenty of Millwall fans have already booked trains already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 It's too late in the day to be changing the kick off time surely. @JulieH any idea what's happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt anything that drastic would happen. Just a higher cost of policing at the game. But guarantee you'd get more away fans going for a 3pm than a 12pm. Also sell more in the ground beforehand. 12pm is too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it works quite like that Its a potential solution , dependent on what the Police viewpoint is , but I'm not sure we could just stick two fingers up or bully the Police into accepting a 3pm ko ( I don't disagree with your sentiments -(Just pointing out the practicalities) Just imagine if the Club went against all advice , even if they could, and a serious incident or disorder occurred - they'd be ripped to shreds ( I've never quite believed that those determined on a ruck will say ' Oh I'll have to get up earlier , I can't be bothered') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll end up with Birmingham/Wolves/any game with the slightest bit of chance of trouble being changed soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milwall will always be a high profile game, if the police wanted an early kick off this should have been sorted several weeks ago. Like others have said, there will be plenty of milwall fans who have arranged travel arrangements for the game likewise our own fans who don't live in Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Nothing worse than a 12pm kick off. Awful atmosphere in ground and the players rarely seem to start these games well. No need to change kick off time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've never really understood the logic in an early kick-off preventing any trouble. Surely there is now more time after the game to police people outside of the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there is now more time after the game to police people outside of the ground? Yup and people upset about the result. Who's to say the Police have requested it, I spoke to one recently about football and they rightly said if there are people out to cause trouble they will anyway, an hour or 3 isn't going to make much difference. Like you say they will just linger around afterwards. Perhaps the feeling is that people won't be drinking before the game if an early KO, but if people want to drink they will, no matter what time of day it is. Wasnt the Cardiff game (similar situation with the fans) early as the council wanted to close the road for work on the metro bridge, I suspect the same bridge might need work right on this match day, how convenient?

Northern Red Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'd have thought it was a fairly obvious candidate for an early kick off. Not 3 weeks before though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the park end was open & the away end (late 1980's?) I'm sure I remember Dolman A block sending wooden seat Frisbees into the Millwall fans. It was pandemonium before & after.
