Olé Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 It wouldn't have sounded half as convincing on bcfc.co.uk if the announcement said "sorry about making it impossible to get home but we've got to get a full size fishing trawler out of the Dolman concourse".

Just tell the truth and sort these things early. Not too difficult surely? Later kick off makes my day easier as I’m in Bristol but feel for those of you that aren’t and for whom this late change has buggered up plans. Here’s hoping for an electric night to compensate.

RedM Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 2 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: Just suggests that either the club can't cope with larger attendances, or they don't care about the fans. I’m thinking they are worried about residents, but surely moving it later just adds to noice and traffic being later. Do clubs get frowned upon or fined if the match doesn’t KO on time, unless for an obvious emergency? Something very strange about moving this so near to matchday. Have they an event on at AG that they need to clear perhaps? Edit: Just seen the boat news above. That will teach me to read to the end of the thread before replying!

Bristol Rob Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Out of interest @JulieH what involvement do the police have with this sort of decision making? Is the focus on getting people to the stadium for 8pm (even though it's POETS day, and countless games kick off successfully at 7.45pm), or is there consultation with BTP and what the late finish will mean for people using the rail network to get home.

Bristol Rob Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 So Villa would have known about this a week ago, and the match officials within 5 days of kick off, but supporters get next to no notice - not even a 'we might move kick off back 15 minutes if all parties agree, so keep that in mind if you are making travel plans'. 27 Kick-Off Times 27.1 The Home Club shall fix the time of kick-off: 27.1.1 between 11.30am and 3.15 pm for Saturday matches; 27.1.2 between 7.00pm and 8.05 pm for midweek matches; and 27.1.3 between 11.30am and 8.05pm for Bank Holiday matches. Once the kick-off time has been fixed, any amendment or variation thereto can be made only by agreement with the Away Club and with the approval of The League. 27.2 Home Clubs shall notify: 27.2.1 the Away Club at least seven days prior to; and 27.2.2 Match Officials, as soon as practicable after notification of their appointment, of the date and time of kick-off the date of the Match concerned, and the Referee and Assistant Referees must acknowledge the receipt five days before such Match.

Super Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Given how bad traffic is around Bristol I think all our midweek home games should be 8pm especially on a Friday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

POETS day? Sounds like a perk of the past if ever there was one- where I work early finishes are purely results dependent, same in sales generally- the 'perk' or closest to POETS day we had was take a half hr lunch and finish a half hr early if not results dependent- if results come in then of course the POETS thing kicks in but...different industries, different times I guess. @Dollymarie Aware of what it means thanks, just pointing out it's likely dependent on employer attitude, industry etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many matchday staff, most I'd guess have other jobs- throw in terrible traffic in Bristol, and on a busy Friday night with a big attendance inflating this, it makes a certain amount of sense- don't know why they couldn't have broke the news a bit quicker however.
