    They changed it to the first game of the weekend a good few years ago because it's the biggest play off game, worth the most money and the Wembley pitch was usually quite torn up after the 2 games that went before.

    So I wonder what is the reasoning behind the incompetent Twa@ts not announcing the kick off time

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a kick off time. It’s something like 5:30

    That's a late one if it is. I know previous ones have been 3 and half 4. I was hoping for half 4 tbf.

    1730 kick off would be a proper ****house move for the fans who need to travel back afterwards.

    Last seasons was 1500

    Pretty sure it can’t be 3pm Saturday because the blackout still applies

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a morning kick off
    You know how useless the powers that be are

    Were staying over on the Friday but driving back after th match as the hotels jump in price and I just can't afford it.

    Going to be a nightmare for fans getting home.
