Brunners 7,952 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Swansea kickoff now 12.30pm. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Just now, Brunners said: Swansea kickoff now 12.30pm. Any reason for that Brunners? As someone mentioned about Leeds and Cardiff, with no flights or hotels it makes it a tough travel for us. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 264 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 We are at home Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yeah we are at home but still very harsh on Swansea unless we agreed they can take all of rockcliffe hall the night before given it wont be in use? Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco 4,900 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yes sorry I had it the wrong way around in my head. Tough on Swansea instead. I don’t understand why they would play it earlier than 3pm under the circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 agree @Blanco. I assume Swansea are happy to do it mind. Wont make much difference to Swansea as I assume they will be arriving here day before now. i cannot for life of me see why they would agree to a 12.30pm kick off and be travelling up here on day of the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think they can book hotels. Leeds have the same issue going to Cardiff for 12.30pm Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,043 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Can't find any reason the kickoff time is earlier? So has to be a decision the clubs have made together Link to post Share on other sites
boro-unger 3,817 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 We can give them some tents to camp over at the stadium Link to post Share on other sites

Leeds have the same issue going to Cardiff for 12.30pm Yep true but read a piece in EG other day saying there could be scope for teams to book out an entire hotel to themselves where considerable travel was involved. Think Newcastle still got away games at Bournemouth and Brighton left and as a result might look in to that. I imagine Swansea might as well as Leeds when they go to Cardiff.

Smogzilla 7,385 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 They are staying at a hotel. Coming down tomorrow night. Kick off time has been moved to reduce the amount of time they stay in the hotel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It seems weird that they'd move the kick off two and a half hours earlier in order to spend less time in the hotel, but then they'd come a week before the game 🙃 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 In the current climate wouldn't it make more sense to have late kickoffs when the away team needs to travel long distances? Link to post Share on other sites
