Just noticed that the Villa match (Easter Monday, 17th April) kicks off at 2.45pm, not 3.00pm as I had thought. 'bet that will catch out a lot of people.
Yep, the usual 15 minutes late people will be 30 minutes late! They may as well just get their annoying early half time refreshments when they come through the turnstiles.
How does that annoy you ?
Really don't get the point of kicking off 15 mins early.
Lunchtime 12-30 or 1pm I can understand.
Isn't it on sky?

It's the ones that come in late, go down for half time early, come back up for the second half late then leave early that annoy me. The must only see about half of the game! Meanwhile everyone around is up down up down off their seats.
Yes it is on sky, and the time is so they can show a second championship game live that day too

sometimes people have to leave early for work, or last train etc. maybe late arrivals are down to delays in transportation etc
Have they told Villa?

Winds me up too. OK some people have to leave a bit early for a train, but they seem to be the same ones that arrive late (no excuse), leave their seats early before half time and get back late. Amazing!
I must admit I do go down early at half time to avoid the queues. However alway do not at appropriate time i e when the ball is dead.Try to get there on time but am sometimes late,so if you sit in h block it could be me your talking about.

couple behind be leave five minutes early every game.. Midweek or weekends.
Family of four along from me in same row always arrive just as game kicks off, then proceed to ha e a family picnic as game goes on.... Tupperwear world has been raided by them. Then he will get up five minutes before HT and ho and get two coffees and drinks. Then halfway through second half two of them will get up to go take a piss.
Every game like clockwork.

No worries. We will have missed any number of open goal opportunities before they arrive if nobody has told them.

Why, oh, why do we not have safe terracing as an option. At least you can move around without so much interfering carnage......

If not, it would have been nice to hear the chant: 'One team in Fulham, there's only one team in Fulham!' - as it was when the Scots lined up 'against' Estonia in 1996. Estonia had refused to play the fixture there and were absent. Hence the chant 'One team in Talinn, there's only one team in Talinn.' What was astonishing was that 1000 Scots still turned up even though they knew the game would be abandoned after the KO!
There is a guy near me who leaves at half time nearly every game.
Mind, I suppose that is well "Fulhamish".

Perhaps he has a half season ticket?
