    I used to let my staff time shift on occasions. Start two hours early and finish two hours early. As long as the business can permit it can you request the same Dave. Or the other alternative is make the time up on another day? Good luck. I think early kick offs are inevitable over the winter tbh. ?

    Just shell it out on a climbing mortgage rate instead. Give me strength …It comes naturally to you doesn’t it? “There are lights on but nobody at home” couldn’t be more apt!

    I’m all for it but is it really fair on the poor sods who signed up to buy season tickets who thought every game would be a 3pm start ?????

    If this is the way forward then I think that it shouldn’t come into play until next season just to be fair to everyone

    Genuine question, if it takes around two and a half hours to travel up, then that is a 9.30 start to arrive in Bradford around Noon. You would also be home in time for tea.

    You think it costs £10,000 to heat and light the stadium for around 4 hours?

    Really?

    I don't have the flexibility in my role, due to the business needs. I already have a negotiated 'allowance' to watch bcfc on a Saturday at 3pm due to ad hoc duties.

    True, were it not for going to my daughter's Saturday morning games that KO at 10:30. I managed to get to my seat 30 seconds before kick off v Wimbledon after parking up at Forster Sq carpark on arrival. An early kick off at VP just isn't possible sadly.

    It's a good job we are still at valley parade this season and not a new stadium at odsal. Just think of the poor buggers from Bradford north who would have to get two buses to odsal before 1pm

    Shame, hope it’s at least held off until next season as it won’t suit everyone like yourself.

    Perhaps the government could be persuaded to keep British Summer Time all year round.They are desperately short of good ideas at the moment,so they might listen.

    It’s quite common for scheduled Saturday 3pm games to be postponed during the winter months and moved to Tues nights. I didn’t sign up for that shit and I demand a refund.

    Listen chaps, energy's through the bloody roof, the cost of everything is sky high and likely to stay that way.

    But there's a General Election in 2025, so it's only 3 years.

    If it's 1 pm kick offs until we get rid of tax cuts for the rich and bonkers bankers' bonuses, we might just have to swallow the medicine.
