    PL & Championship teams weren't playing under the new rules at mean most games will not finish until at least 2hours after they kicked off. I don't expect any game we play this season to KO at 3pm and the final whistle to go before 5.10 pm at the earliest.

    Yes, I understand that the rule allows a match to be shown to its conclusion, provided the set kick off time is such that it "can reasonably have been expected to finish before the blackout".

    I'm sure the 3pm kick off live stream on a international break was stopped a couple of years ago?

    Last time we played these away we were in the home end with no problem at all, knowing I had little chance of getting a ticket I was hoping to do the same this time but having visited their website you have to have been to at least 3 home games last season to purchase a ticket.

    I've been in the home end too. Just paid on the turnstile the first year they came up.

    Still in excess of two hours after it kicked off.

    A bit pedantic but we didn't actually kick off until nearly 5 past on Saturday for some reason.

    According to Simon Parker the reason for the delayed kick off was that the ref ordered Colchester to change their socks.

    5 minutes to change their socks? Sounds like my lad once we're already late and I'm trying to crowbar him out of the house!

    It was 17:06 on my watch, and that was after an unusually short half time break.

    I think planning matches on the basis of a 17:00 to 17:10 (evenings 21:45 to 21:55) finish seems the way to go. Even then, there is a risk they could go beyond those times.

    I'll be on the train, for this one, as far as Lancaster, then there is a decent bus service to / from the ground. Fortunately, there are plenty of trains, for me, from Lancaster after the match, so I won't be worried if the match runs a bit late.

    Tonight is a different matter, however, and so I've opted to drive to Stockport.

    In which case the half time break must have only been 12 minutes including getting off and on the pitch.

    I couldn't care less if I'm honest. I'm sorry I even commented

    We were back out after 12 minutes, Colchester and the officials a minute later. I doubt we'll see many half time breaks that short this season (unless there is a firm directive to shorten them).

    Morecambe had 25% possession and 1 shot on target in their home game tonight. We must capitalise on Saturday, we are more than capable

    They had 14 shots in total though to Notts 10 they will be difficult to play against
