    It appears that from midweek onwards, all kick off times are 7 minutes later than normal.
    For example, our game kicks off at 12.22pm instead of 12.15pm.

    Anyone know the reason? Just curious?

    Anniversary of Hillsborough mate. All matches kicking of 7 mins late as that was when the match was abandoned

    25th anniversary of the disaster.......very poignant that we are playing Forest as they were Liverpool's opponents on that fateful day....

    Is there a minute's silence/applause at the games?

    Silence I would hope, far more appropriate in the circumstances....

    I read somewhere it was 3.06pm when the game was stopped and at that point on the anniversary there will be a minutes silence before kick-off at 3.07pm. Other kick-off times are adjusted accordingly...

    Bloody hell, I forgot the significance in our opponents. Could very well be some of theirs who were there that day.
    Will make it all the more emotional.
