TW MailBag: Cops... Over-reaction?

[GrandOldTeam]

So we are having to play Man Utd at the ridiculous mid-day kick-off because the police are still smarting over the "Battle of Everton Valley" two years ago.
Last season's game was at a sensible time: no violence. Last season was not Rooney's first return. Last season was not a crucial FA Cup Match.
Isn't this all getting just a little bit ridiculous? (Paul Hardcastle)

Will be interesting to see the kick-off time when we go to Old Trafford.

Incredible really. They decide to make the kick off at mid-day, then the crowds will be passing through the city centre on their way back to the station at around 3pm. Priceless. When town is at its busiest. Whoever planned this must be worth their wages.

Thick bastards.

You guys think you've got it bad, those of us in the States have to wake up at 6AM CDT to catch it live.

Pah!!! When I was in Hawaii, it wasn't unheard of for me to wake up at 2am to watch the game and go back to bed after.

And we in CET will have to go up at noon to watch it.. on a holiday to boot..

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Its not the inconvenience that bothers me, its the fact that earlier kick offs tend to have a more subdued atmosphere.

I have to be out of my scratch at 6am to catch the commentary.

I need to blame someone for that like.
