Anyone know when 19:45 became the norm? It always makes me laugh to myself when non-football fans ask "what time does it kick off?" because the answer for clubs like Town is always 3pm  or 7:45pm depending on the day. Until now that is, when we too have to ask!

Good question as it was historically 7.30pm with 10 minutes for half time. Think half time changed with the advent of live tv to accommodate more advert opportunities and I think 7.45pm was brought in to allow fans more time between finishing work and kick off but cannot for the life of me if that is a load of tosh and when it was first introduced. Do think Scunny have always stuck with 7.30pm assume so night shift workers, both of them, can attend.

Towns home game against Leicester in the FL Trophy has now been brought forward to a 7pm kick-off.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Pretty sure in the early 80s it was still 19:30 kick offs and the 19:45 thing happened around AB1

I remember when Torquay's Saturday games always used to kick-off at 7.30pm.

Not sure how long ago that was though or when they reverted to the standard 3pm.

We’re not playing tonight.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
