    I had not been aware that the last game of the season started at 5.30! Not sure why? I can see that League Two Kicks Off at the conventional time of 3.00.

    Tv! They’re not allowed to show games on tv at 3pm on a Saturday.
    Presume League 1 gets all the tv priority over league 2!

    All Div 1 kick off at the same time to avoid anyone gaining an advantage of knowing a result in advance, Hence they all kick off at 5.30pm

    But how would any team gain an advantage if they all kicked off at 3pm.

    Thought the kick off time was same as last season. Sunny Scunny was 5:30

    Only difference is more beers before the game.

    TV games are picked well in advance and in case a game was picked for the 5.30 screening the planners made them all at 5.30 maybe

    For tv it’s obvious because they can’t show them at 3 pm on a Saturday

    Are we on TV are any league one games live on TV, the same would apply if there are teams playing with the kick offs all being 15:30pm, The year we won promotion to the Premiership the scores at Ipswich and who ever else were in the mix were ringing around Molyneux ever couple of minutes.

    Need more than beer to get me in the mood for that, probably crystal meth would be more appropriate.

    Just a reminder, that Saturday's game is a 1730 kick off! I completely forgot until looking through the last week's fixtures. Don't want any city fans turning up at 1500! That would be a shame wouldn't it, missing these players playing their last game for us, hopefully!

    It's the same EVERY season. Championship, League One and League Two games are staggered throughout their final days (12.30, 3.00 and 5.30) so that Sky can show two crucial games from each league as well as the PL games that day. They've never given a shite about League Two.

    Everywhere around the world doesn't have this rule.

    Think showing games now at 3pm on the isn't going to stop people attending games.

    They wouldn’t miss it though. They’d just be subjected to 2.5hrs of watching the grass grow before the players kick-off. May actually be more excitement..!

    What I meant by that was, by the time 1730 comes around you'd probably be in the pub! They wouldn't be worth the wait lol
