Sounds mint to me

I can only imagine this happening for local derbies, what with travel for away fans on weekends (although I suppose midweek fixtures are hardly well-thought-out in this respect). Then you've got the whole issue of additional policing in town centres and around transport hubs to take into account...

Wouldn't mind a couple of them a season . Good night out and no traffic problems , 11 am start on a city center piss up might need a review though !

Looking at the packages on offer, the prime time Sunday afternoon slot has been put back to 16:30 KO

Good call BiB.

The Newcastle-Southampton derby looks a strong possibility for such an arrangement............

Bad enough settling down with the wine for Saturday football with matches from midday to teatime. With a late match I'll be paralytic before we play.
