I am not one to turn my back on tradition but I would prefer a 3pm kick off at Belle Vue next season. Am I alone?

Yes I think so.

Tradition at Belle Vue is a 3:30 kick, at least it is since I started following Wakefield in the 1980s.

I would prefer 3.00 ko as well.

Can I just ask what difference half an hour makes?

I get home half an hour earlier.

But if we kicked off at 3 you would have to set off half an hour earlier.

That wouldnt bother me, I have more things to do on a Sunday afternoon than a Sunday morning. Just personal choice thats all.

By all means.
I travel from Worksop and would like to get home and have my tea before i go to church. I would drive faster but its a sin - so i cant.

anytime saturday or sunday but if sky says midnight we cant do anything about it but never friday nights if we had the choice

The later the better for me as it means I can get more into the time before the game. The time after the game is for chilling out so the duration doesn't matter. Hence 3.30 is better than 3.00 but 7pm would be better.

I always thought a Saturday afternoon kick-off in summer might be worth a try. Attract those who usually attend football and are in the habit.

Looking in old programmes, the move from the traditional Saturday to Sunday seemed controversial in the first place!

3.30 for me.

Initially I misread this as "Thirty three" and thought it was a thread about Stanley Gene's age...

Anyroad, I often wonder if returning to Saturday afternoon fixtures is the way forward. Living in Manchester and having to travel on public transport for home games I find late night fridays and Sunday afternoons really awkward to get to. Saturday afternoon means its not to awkward to get around and you have time to have a drink or whatever after the match.

just need a winning team first but need to ask supporters before we try it but its the sky games that get me if we do go down some are on thursday night

3.30 FOR ME TOO.

I don't care.

Alot play rugby sat afternoon ,sun morning .Could loose some support

3.30 Sunday is good for me. We tried Saturday 2.30 some years ago when the floodlights got nicked and it wasn't that popular, although I cant remember if it clashed with footie.

May I suggest 3:15














Either for me are better than Friday's

I might be wrong here and stand to be corrected but I believe there was something in the District that prevented kick offs at 3pm on Sundays, you will note that cas and Fev dont kick off before 3.30 on a Sunday, I think it was religious based but not 100% something I recall from the nether region of the past

I with you on this one Mr Bliss

I always thought it was to do with the pubs closing at 3 on a Sunday so giving time to finish beers and get to the game (people in Hull obvioulsy drank faster hence their 3:15 kickoffs)

Ahh, I always thought it was to do with the shift changes at the pits when they were still going?

Isn't it because the pubs used to shut at 3 on a Sunday?

I like Friday night games better atmosphere watch the game and still get the full weekend with the family to keep her indoors happy and seems to work better for the hospitality sales. All the big clubs play on a Friday night so if it's good enough for them.
