Kick off time for game on Easter Monday?

[Row S]

I see from the fixture list that the St Johnstone game KO time is now 7.45pm. Was it not the case when first announced by the SPL that it was to be 2pm on account of it being televised on ESPN? What is the official line on this and is it still being televised?

The SPL are morons and yes (according to http://www.livesportontv.com/football )

I keep this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_sport/football/teams/1456/fixtures/index.shtml?context=cps_ukfs bookmark on my phone. BBC are good at updating it too.

prices have been reduced ?10 adults and ?5 kids according to St J website. However as its a school night its the telly for me unfortunately. Would have gone if it had been the afternoon.

I too had planned to go with it originally being a 2pm kick off, Caleyjag is working but I'm off, going to give it a miss now that the KO has been changed to 745pm

Think ill watch this one in the pub, although a 6pm kick off seems a ridiculous time it doesn't seem too bad considering theres a 2 hour drive north afterwards whereas a 7.45 ko = home for midnight and is starting to get too late.

I had made arrangements to go for 2pm kick off but can't make later one. not amused!!!

If I didn't know well enough the SPL's track record I'd say all this mucking around with dates and times was pathetic. But...

So in future whenever we intend going to a football match, at any point up to game day these tits can arbitrarily change the KO time with zero consideration of fans' plans?

When was this discussed/agreed? Who agreed this? Who was consulted?

Last chance for me for some ICT footie this season just disappeared.

:annoyed:

Can you pay at the gate?

I think this game may see one of the lowest attendances of the season.

[DundeeICT]

At least it's only a tenner/fiver to get in. I will be there!

I'd have gone up to it had it not been for the late KO. Work beckons on Tuesday unfortunately.
