... is all these fucking shithouse kick off times would reduce and hopefully end.

Imagine if every game was 15:00 on a Saturday. I'd take near relegation for being able to go to a football match like a normal person and not fucking midday or fucking late on a fucking Friday or twatting Saturday or fucking random bellend Sunday kickoffs.

Guaranteed a 12pm kick-off against Everton twice a season though!

Given their form, there’s no guarantee of that….

There is if we carry on our 'decline'

Andy, I know an Evertonian who told me that he would rather go through the thrill of staying up on the last day that winning cups and leagues like us. Not what I want to do and football kick off times are here to stay.

How does he knows?

When they stayed up last season, he was on the pitch and told me it was the greatest feeling he has ever had in his life.

I think it would be worse to be honest Andy. If we weren’t in Europe, then it would be easier to put us on anytime over the weekend, so more 4.30pm Sundays or 12.30pm Saturdays because we would need the gaps for midweek European matches. Us and United are still the big TV draws in this country so would imagine we will be on TV just as much.

It would also help to cleanse the forum of some right twats that were just here for the glory...

I'll see you all in a couple of years (decades?) time hahaha..

Some people work Saturdays. Some people live far away from Liverpool. Some people can’t afford the ticket prices (maybe on top of travel and accommodation)

Why should watching Liverpool be limited to being in Liverpool at 3pm on a Saturday, and able to afford tickets Andy?

bird_lfc · « **Reply #12 on:** January 5, 2023, 09:23:56 am »

Got to be honest I don’t think it would make a great deal of difference considering the pulling power the broadcasting companies have now.

Not to mention it’s highly unlikely we finish lower than 6th place, no matter how shit we’ve been by our standards

ToneLa · « **Reply #13 on:** January 5, 2023, 09:27:02 am »

It may get easier to obtain tickets if we shed some of the Johnny-come-lately coattail riders who only really got interested when Klopp got us Big Ears again

I mean I don't want THAT BADLY want us to fail but I wonder exactly how far we drop off before our support takes a hit

stonecold_jpm · « **Reply #14 on:** January 5, 2023, 09:34:56 am »

Don’t think so, we would be on Friday, Mondays and Saturday 12.30’s more often with no European football.

A lot of my mates do, 8pm kick offs on a Saturday night absolutely fuck their weekends up. I've only moved to Manchester and 8pm KO times fuck me up. Part of what made me stop going in 2010 was the stupid monday night games, I was sick of leaving work early and then having to make up the time and then getting in at half 11. I was offered tickets for this Saturday, money is tight right now, but the 8pm KO put me off, ruins my day, kids up late yet again, fucking about with tea so having to get a burger or something at the ground, adding more expense to what is already getting on for a £100 day.

Anyway, they could always go and support their local team...

We are a bit shit, but we're not getting relegated to league 2. More likely to be more Sunday matches with Europa League possible.

The Bloos might soon be enjoying a load of Saturday 3pms, but that comes with the Championship's 31 midweek rounds of games.

Agreed. The Europa League game against Dortmund is still fun for me to watch, the replay. Hahahahha!! Remember the Lovren's celebration? Drives me mad and fun. Crazy night.

Are you signed up to any of the telly subscription services that decide on these KO times?

I would like to see how often we have had actually played at 3pm on a Saturday for the last few years. It isn’t often.

We are 8-1 to win the league this year.£150 stake will fund next years champions league final trip.
