To be fair they usually only show the championship derby games on a Sunday or if it is a big top of the table clash.
Yep just another nail in the coffin,for the beautiful game. Slowly but surely the game is going.
Especially to accommodate armchair supporter's.

I wonder how many supporters this season, myself Included, will arrive for a 3.00pm kick off only to find out it started at 12.30pm?

Absolutely agree. As a season-ticket holder who lives 65 miles from the Kassam, it's a nightmare, but what most annoys me is this - the relentless degeneration of football into an armchair entertainment.
Your opinion yes.
Stadiums in the middle of nowhere on industrial estates . No soul , heart ripped out of communities.
Rules changed every couple of years, can't tackle anyone ,can't touch the goalie , cheating, diving,.
Offside rule ,foul throws, Corner kicks not in the D, handball .
Don't get me started ,on refs & var . That's just to name a few. For me bring back the 60s , 70s, 80s , anytime. Alas but not....

The riverside, deepdale, the hawthorns, Vicarage Road, Loftus Road, Stadium of Light, Hillsborough, Bramell Lane, the Den, Fratton Park, Home Park, Elland Road, Ewood Park, Turf Moor and Kenilworth Road are all proper grounds IMO and that is over half of the grounds in the league.
There is a lot to moan about modern football and the things that have come with getting promoted but the stadiums we will be going to isn’t one of them.

As someone who doesn’t drink and just wants to watch the game and get on with the rest of my weekend I quite like a 12:30. But I understand why others don’t.
Yes that's what happens when you don't move.
Luton won't be there for long.

Maybe time for you to hang up your boots.
Certainly sounds as though you get zero enjoyment from the game any longer

I'll never lose it, there's obviously a few things for the better. On the whole though, the simple game , has turned to greed . Which in life I'm afraid , destroys.

@SteMerritt Can we have the thread title amendend to be correctly spelt please?
If you think, a footballer, is worth thousands of pounds a week wages.
Above Doctor's, Nurses, carers .Hundreds of meaningful jobs, across the country paid a pittance.
Is justified ?? well I'm shocked, it's only a game after all. So I think I'm right , to be a bit peed of with SKY.

It’s taken you 32 years to realise that due to Sky footballers are so over paid?

Can't argue with that.
It's all skewed, and as you say driven by £££.
Unfortunately a Surgeon performing life saving surgery doesn't have the benefit of fans wanting to buy football shirts with their name on and all the other sport paraphernalia that generates so much.
But who is at fault? us. This is all driven by demand.

Many years ago we played the first "pay to view" game - that is when it started to go wrong.

True, it started off going very wrong with that game, it was a 0-0 snoozefest v Sunderland. What a way to usher in the new dawn of TV football coverage.

Not sure I’m too excited by 630am kick offs given all the games were likely to be available anyway

Sky, the Premier League and the EFL. It's all about the money!
Won't be long until select Premier League games are hosted overseas in the US, Asia, or Saudi, all to expand the global brand of the clubs and the league.
Don't forget the European league that was defeated.
Won't be long till it's a reality, sky will be all over it, I'm afraid.
this will effect attendances in the family area no doubt. a lot of boys/girls will be playing football saturday mornings

We know the club monitor these boards, so you might like to know the first team fixture list on the official club site is still showing the old kick off times.
You’re welcome.
I actually prefer 12:30 kickoffs in a way, like a couple of others have said.
Unless you’ve got an insane distance to travel, you can leave your house at 9am which is reasonable and have 3.5 hours to get to the game. The game is then finished by around 2:30 which gives you the rest of the afternoon to do something, feels like you have more time in the day than with a 3pm kickoff.
