Well that's almost certainly scuppered my chances of making that match now they've changed the kick off time.

I'm gigging the night before (ironically just outside Preston).

Gutted, I'd really been looking forward to that one.

Book a travel lodge or a premier inn in Preston for after the gig and go to the match the next day. Sorted.

I'm still trying to work out a way to do it to be fair. Thanks for commenting all the same!!

I might be missing something but neither the official West Brom website or Sky Sports Championship mentions a changed kick-off time - 3.00pm

It's on the WBA OS that all the final day Champo games have been brought forward to a 1230pm kick off but isn't that the norm these days for final day?

That's what I thought, pretty sure Swansea last season and the Barnsley game the season before both kicked off at 12.30.

It doesn't really matter whether it's the norm for recent seasons (which it is). What matters is that early kickoffs are a pain in the bajangas for many supporters. All kicking off at the same time is fine. So why not make it 3pm? Probably because it would impact Sky's viewing figures for Prem fixtures on the same day.

So it is. Silly me. It had been a long day

No worries, the point and the problem remains the same.

It negatively impacts the supporters... do they realise we are the reason for the game?

P.S. hope you get some decent kip

You're going to be unhappy with the play off games then : 1st leg Sunday 12th at 12.30, 2nd leg Thursday 16th 8pm....that's assuming we make it to the play offs.

We all know Sky don't give a toss though

You're citing playoff kickoff times as prospective reasons for me to be unhappy when I'm having a perfectly justifiable moan about all the final games being brought forward on a Saturday. Now a regular Saturday league fixture and a two legged playoff aren't exactly the same kettle of fish are they  ?

We may be more likely to be in the Monday 13th and Friday 17th dates. Both at 8pm. If we do make the playoffs of course.

I  was basing it on the numerous posts you've made bemoaning changed kick off times.

Fair enough, context clearly isn't your thing  .
