Following a few posts on here (and following the Frankfurt Ultras protest), what's the worst kick-off time in your opinion for a "weekend" game of football?

Monday night, 100%.

Friday nights in the Championship were quite fun, especially if you WON, and could then enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Monday nights can just **** right off.

From a selfish point of view the 12 / 12.30 kick offs as this is 7 / 7.30 on the East Coast of the USA - even worse for fans on the West Coast, that's 4 / 4.30 am for them

Where's the 20.15 option for Amazon coverage?

I was out of the country over Xmas and will forever be grateful that every PL game was live. The weather where we were was shit!

For this expat seagull, it's Monday night with an 11:45pm ko time and a finish around 1:30am on Tuesday! :yawn:

You might get a few different answers for others around the globe, but Monday's just a bad day all round.

Being 7 or 8 hours ahead timezone wise I hate the late kickoffs. Any 19.45 is 3.45 here which really doesn't work. Can manage any of the others though and realise it's not really the intended feedback of the thread but.

Quite like an early kick off - gives you the rest of the day free to carry on drinking/do other stuff*

Anything that eats into the evening is a drag as interferes with other plans. If it is actually a proper evening kick off that's fine tho! Except if it's a Monday, in which case it's an abomination.

*delete as appropriate.

12.30's mack me RIGHT off. Nobody's ready for it, there's no time to get on the sauce which means the atmosphere is always crapola. Meeting up in DICKS beforehand with a few chums is a writeoff, cos who wants to start drinking at half eleven ? There's no other games to check at half time. I pissing well HATE 12.30's.

It's enough of a hassle getting down from London (although others have it worse) and 12:30 feels a bit like a workday to be honest. It's a level of organisation which is annoying on a Saturday morning.

As my preferred method of getting in and out is via Seagulls Over Surrey (Haywards Heath Branch), I have to leave that bit earlier too. Yep hate them.

I must be one of the few that really enjoys an evening game, whether its Friday night, Monday night or the more rare late Saturday kickoff. Theres something about a late kick off under the lights that adds to the atmosphere
