Hampden Diehard Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Sadly for those wanting to go to the Pars v QP match and the Scotland game the same day, Dunfermline have insisted that the game goes ahead at 3.00pm, despite QP's attempts to have the game brought forward. Utter nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter nonsense. We should probably still make it back in time, but yer right, a 1pm or even 2pm ko would have been better.

Utter nonsense. Oh diddums. We are quite right to have the kick off at 3pm, it is of course the preferable time, that's why it's used for pretty much every single weekend fixture not moved for TV.Even taking into account extra traffic over 2 1/2 hours is plenty of time to get to Hampden for the exhibition match.

Stellaboz Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 The best solution of course is to switch the game to Hampden with a 1pm kick off, get both games for the price of a Scotland ticket. Clubs split the cash, because we our hair bleach budget has gone way over. ££££££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A simple accommodation for fans would be to have the game at 2.00pm. Anyway, hopefully we'll pump you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it goes to extra time you've enough time to get to Hampden before kick off if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick1867 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yeah, it's no big deal. We'll be able to see both games easily imo. Plenty of time pre cup game and post Scotland game for the usual refreshments, which will no doubt be required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3pm kick-off has it's roots in a time when Saturday mornings were a standard part of the working week for blue collar workers. Noon was when the hooter went and the factory/mine/shipyard would empty. As the game was largely followed by the working class and pubs stopped serving at 2pm, with just a 10 minute drink-up time, and with most clubs not having floodlights, 3pm was the optimum time to leave work,have a swally, walk to the game, stand in a big queue to get in and hopefully see the game finish before it got dark. When conveniently pubs opened at 5pm. i suspect the 3pm kick-off today is more important for those who want to watch the SKY lunchtime game and have to do the big shop with the bidey in the morning. Thanks due to Dunfermline though for sensible pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghBlue Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Disappointed at all those referring to this as Scotland's seventh tournament. It's clearly Europe's third after the Champions and Europa leagues [emoji3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
