    Surely it's the clubs who agree the KO time ?

    You’re right, I’ll give it a miss.

    The 7pm kick off works for those wanting to travel back to Bradford by train after the match.

    The home team decides the kick off time. For Derby kicking off at 7pm makes it easier for children to go and it saves them a little bit on the floodlights. Whether the game kicked off at 7, 7:30 or 7:45 I doubt it will make much difference on the attendance either way and if they lose out on a few away fans they won't be that bothered.

    Rather than being on from 3or4 until maybe 10:30 when players/media have left from a 7:45 kick off they can switch them off at 9:30.

    I’m not going through all the replies but the Baseball Ground would have pipped V.P for crappest surface ever.

    Yeah, unfortunately Stan like to pick and choose his games.
    The game in which he scored against Leeds, he had England international Woodgate in his pocket all game, in a superb individual performance.

    We'd just landed at Leeds/Bradford when one of the cabin crew asked if (anyone's interested he must have thought all 200+ passenger's on the plane we Leeds fans the way he said it), Leeds were losing 1 - 0 at Bradford, Stan Collymore scoring, by the time we got home it was 1 - 1 with Viduka scoring for Leeds, what he didn't say was what a goal from Stan and how he enjoyed his goal celebration in front of the Bradford End crammed with Leeds fans **so funny**so funny.

    Get the logic of kids, but not the floodlights. It's dark at 4pm so literally nothing to save on floodlight cost.
