Mansfield moved kick off to 1pm to save money, others expected to follow suit.

Obviously pre-empted the EFL meeting to discuss doing just that.

Clubs have to do whatever they can to save money at this level don't blame them at all


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

I live an hour and a half away. My kids have classes / training on a Saturday morning and I can’t set off until just after 12:00.

I bought a season ticket, as I have done for the last 20 years, on the basis of games kicking off at 3pm. Of course I can make an exception the odd week, but if it’s routine through the winter my ST would be effectively null and void.

I won’t be the only one in this position. I think Town, with a large exile following, would need to think long and hard before following suit.

Our floodlights are all LED bulbs too. They don't actually cost that much to run.

It would be interesting to know what it costs to power the floodlights, and therefore what the savings are.

It’s in mid October, doubt they’d even need the floodlights then though.
