Next year games with an evening kick off will start at 7.45 Due to games only finishing after 10pm! on t.v.

ball ache getting over the m62 most friday nights for 8pm, something we just going to have to live with atm

I've seen comments in the past about the late finishes affecting what gets put in the papers the next day due to writers missing publishing deadlines etc. I guess it helps a little in that regard, but other than that I can't really see much benefit. Makes it that little bit harder for traveling fans to get to games.

Kick offs have been getting later anyways due to the stupid picture line ups every single game. Used to prefer it when teams left the tunnel separately.

I already struggle to make it to games after work, guess I will just be arriving pretty much right on kick off, hope the trains aren't too late...

Isn't it just tv games starting at 7.45?

...they're debating whether all (night) games should start at 19:45.

Also a suggestion that Thursday games should wherever possible be "derby" games.

so we wont have any thursday games next season then haha

Nightmare.

I've been saying since Thursday night games were introduced that it's common sense for Yorkshire v Yorkshire and Lancashire v Lancashire to be the model. Unfortunately, as 2 trips over to chuffing Widnes will testify, there isn't a right lot of common sense within the powers that be
