Never to the dark side Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 These England games on Friday evening and Monday evening is it done on purpose? If you have had a long day at work(monday),do you really want to travel to London for an uninspiring match even if you have got match day tickets Considering its also LIVE on Channel 4. Why can't these games be Thursday/Sunday(3pm?) or Saturday(3pm?)/Tuesday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means one weekday evening game and one weekend 3pm game instead of two evening games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't these games be Thursday/Sunday(3pm?) or Saturday(3pm?)/Tuesday The 2 international games are played 3 days apart. Either Thursday/Sunday, Friday/Monday or Saturday/Tuesday. Dates dictated by UEFA. Don't think the travel arrangements of specific England fans are considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't these games be Thursday/Sunday(3pm?) or Saturday(3pm?)/Tuesday I like travelling up for the evening games, The 19:45 KO does make it easier to get back to Paddington for the 22:30 back to Bristol. At a push we might now get the 22:00 too.... So yeah I prefer 19:45 to 20:00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted September 20, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 On the basis games always sell out I would say it is not a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 The 19:45 ko Monday certainly helps getting back to Paddington after the game. I’m staying in Milan Friday night so not really fussed on KO times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Recall running home from school in the 80s lot of games england played away seemed to kick off at four or there abouts. Yugpslavia 0 england 4 what a game that was 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Linked to central TV deals no doubt. Not that long ago, was the norm for UEFA and FIFA World Cup qualifiers to be Saturday-Wednesday. The odd Friday or Sunday qualifier for individual nations aside and the bulk of the time England home games, indeed Home Nations home qualifiers on a Saturday would kick off at 3pm. European nations probably chose the slots on the day that suited them, different time zones, history of foorball at 3pm or evening etc- seemed a better system tbh. Albeit probably less lucrative.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Friday night one is an away game in Italy anyway, why wouldn't that kick off at 7.45pm?? Plus the Germany game is on a Monday night, so again 7.45pm seems par. A better example would be England v Italy behind closed doors at Molineux in 2021. That was a Saturday kick off and was at 7.45pm. Edited September 20, 2022 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
