[Albion] Why are summer series games at stupid times?

[HeaviestTed]

The Newcastle one on Saturday, half past midnight - that’s like 7:30 kick off in the US.

Why couldn’t they have been 12:30 lunchtime kick off and been on a reasonable time here?

Absolute bullshit.


Edit: alright sod off, I thought it was Saturday night not Friday night.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Because the fans in America have jobs to do ?

 

[Bridcutt]

Sorry but are you asking why the games in the US are in the evening there and not midday on a weekday (when people work/study) in the US?

 

[Bob!]

12.30 pm on a Friday??

 

[Muzzman]

Selfish much?

 

[studio150]

Great idea, play the games in the intense heat and reduce the game to walking pace, just so you don't have to stay up late or watch the rerun the following day at a more acceptable time.

Next question, when do WE get to host the Winter Olympics.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Matches should be scheduled to benefit the people attending the match.

It would be great if they tried doing that here instead of chasing the TV money

 

[el punal]

I know - why don’t we schedule all PL match kick offs for midnight than our American soccer fans can watch the televised coverage early evening? There - sorted.

I'm guessing a fishing expedition!

So the fans in Asia can watch the games over breakfast probably ?

Not the sharpest tool in the world OP.

Seemingly July 2025.


Anyway why is everyone else allowed to start stupid threads, but I'm not?

If Monty Python can film Scott of the Antarctic on a beach then anythings possible.

Because you have already used up your quota?

 

[Van Cleef]

To be fair HT did only mention the Saturday game in OP.




....puts collander on head

 

[HeaviestTed]

I did misunderstand slightly and thought it was Saturday night not Saturday morning, even so a 5:30 kick off would have been nice!
