Sunday Last Day Premier Fixtures Mean Later Kick Off

Sunday Last Day Premier Fixtures Mean Later Kick Off
Wednesday, 15th May 2013 11:04

Its come to my attention that a large number of Saints fans dont know what time the game is kicking off against Stoke City on Sunday afternoon.

Given that this is a full programme of Premier League fixtures and they all need to start at the same time, there is some confusion about what time this actually is, many have assumed that its 3pm, but they would be wrong, others have thought that they would be lunchtime kick offs as was the recent final day of the Championship, but they would also be wrong.

The actual kick off time for all the games, including of course Saints game against Stoke City is 4pm.

Hopefully everyone will soon be aware of it and we wont be hearing tales of woe on Monday, although given that the kick off is later rather than earlier, anyone who isnt sure will just get there earlier than usual.

If they do get to the match on time my only hope is that we do not have the pitch invasion at the end.
Seeing how good it is for the players to walk around the pitch at the end with their kids as happened at Old Trafford and Everton at the weekend just reminded how disappointed I have been for the last couple of seasons as fans run on to the pitch and then do and see what?
Selfish all of them.

I will be on the pitch, along with thousands of others whose only chance to worship the sacred turf at first hand is after the end of the last game. Where do you sit, we will all give you a wave.
Besides, who would want to miss the fun when the stewards pick on one young lad to have a wrestling match with, only to let him go when the tide breaks and they realise that their task is impossible?

aceofthebase added 13:43 - May 16 So the POX has no loyalty to the club and will run if cortese leaves. What a big mistake to get rid of Adkins whose heart was totally with Saints. Chaos at Southampton once more, what a joke club it has become. The only loyal people are the fans who have to endure this nonsense.

ardashuxford added 10:05 - May 18 There will always be politics going on, this was all about getting the best deal for the future of our club, which has now been achieved. Adkins was a good manager and will hopefully succeed at Reading, but Pochettino is more tactically aware, has improved team performances and will attract a better class of player to the club, as the next few months will prove.

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
