In the modern game 15 doesn’t seem enough. Will 30 minutes ensure you can do your HT stuff and not miss the restart?

No. Midweek games that kick off at 8pm won't finish until gone 10pm. Next question.

For me no, what's the point in changing something that has worked for years.
Anyway it would give Locadia a chance to wow the crowd with a dj set :shootself

But does it still work? We all see plenty of empty seats at half time. The modern football fan doesn’t seem to have enough time.

30 mins would be a bit unfair on the early leavers who would miss an extra 15 mins as they rush to get away to their pre organised events.

Oh goody, another poll.

FFS, you can renegociate your mortgage in 15 minutes, I say five minutes, suck an orange, have your bottom smacked, back on the pitch.

Quite, I'd prefer the game to KO 5 minutes earlier, 2 minutes for half time, and back home in time for Jim 'll fix it. Bloody football. What a racket.

Stick with 15mins. We need to bring in the American style of serving match day food, where staff throw hotdogs straight into the customers hand without them having to leave their seat. If the new Spurs ground's gonna be using this method, why not us?

I say yes - think of the increase in advertising on TV and therefore more money. This money could be used to buy more players and pay them more money so we’d have better ones. Like Locadia. Lovely money. Anything that raises more money must be a good thing.

Shorten it to five! Give the overpaid bu88ers time to have a piss and suck on a bit of orange an get out there again!


Glass roots football has to put up with the changing rooms being locked, and the bloke with the key coming back hopefully not too long after the match has finished. Why shouldn't the lucky sods on £KKKK a week have to shiver in the cold and wait for a while too?

Interesting that every reply has been based on the supporter experience .... what about the players. Surely by 30 minutes they would have started to cool down too much and thus another warmup would be need probably resulting in more injuries ?
