Is this the earliest we have ever started a home match?

I did think that our play off semi final against Millwall (1991) kicked off at 11.30 a.m. When I looked up the programme it was 12.00 p.m though.

The famous replay- and on a school day!

Must be one of the strangest kick-off times ever - 11am on a weekday. Deliberately chosen to avoid a recurrence of the scenes during the first abandoned match. We had already been relegated as well. I'm surprised anyone turned up - wonder how many York fans were there?!

I remember listening to it on the radio at work.
Not sure about how many York fans- guessing all those that watched the ten minutes on the Saturday before match abandoned would have got a ticket? Or was the whole match fan free? Memory failing me here kevo.

I seem to remember kicking off at 11.00 the following season as well. We lost to Southend on a sodden pitch and I remember getting up not long after getting to bed and travelled down feeling slightly worse for wear - not helped by the game.
