Football Kickoff Times In. 1970S?

[deek]

I went to QPR games on Saturday's starting at 2.15 pm any idea why?

[johnk]

Somebody had to!!

I'm not sure it's a Legal matter but maybe it was to stagger kick off times in that area of London to avoid congestion.

[Old_Geezer]

Maybe because you hoped to miss the match ?

[fiction-factory]

Maybe it was also during the miners strike so floodlights couldn't be used/relied upon

[bhg481]

Could it have been to remove the need to use floodlights?

[Gromit]

You were a masochist ?

[fiction-factory]

Was it so Stan Bowles and co could get to the pub for teatime opening?

Possibly as a result of train drivers/bus drivers working to rule; early kick off = away to catch last bus/train.

Police probably didn't want QPR, Fulham and Chelsea playing at the same time, due to insufficient manpower.
