[Sleeping Giants]

go back to 7.45pm

Is it my imagine but whatever time we start playing, we're nearly always the last result to come through?

[cross it Dave]

go back to 7.45pm

I say go back to 7.30pm.

We used to for all night games in the 60 & 70's, when on many a memorable evening the best part of 30,000 used to cram in, especially for the League cup matches.

Also, kicking off at 8pm must affect parents decisions to bring their kids.

So, why do we kick off at 8pm, does anyone know?

Chelsea v FC Porto, Gp D, 19:45? Policing Possibly

[Dazzer1977]

All midweek kickoff @ Loftus Road have been moved to 8pm Kick Off due to Policing and also at the Councils request.

Can't be at the council's request as Chelsea and Fulham kick off at 19:45 for midweek games.

I can't get to any midweek games that kick off at 20:00 as those extra 15 minutes ensure I cannot get my connecting train. To be honest, it's why I didn't renew my season ticket a couple of years back as it just wasn't financially sensible as I'd miss every single midweek fixture.

Dare say similar reasons affect one or two others who suffer ropey public transport links!

Nodge where are you travelling home to?

Nodge where are you travelling home to?

Usually Felsted - village outside Chelmsford. Last connecting bus leaves Chelmsford station at 21:55. Sometimes I can get a lift or, if feeling particularly flush, a cab @ £25 min.

Tonight, need to get to Manchester, so firmly out of the question!!

Chelsea falls under the remit of the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea whereas we fall under Hammersmith and Fulham meaning that the two separate councils could have a difference in policy.

You are quite right - how stupid of me to have assumed!
