Wonder what the latest kick off in the UK has been?
I note a trend for 8pm kick offs these days for tv. Was always 7.30 kick off when growing up in the 1970s which has become 7.45pm norm now…perhaps because we are all working longer hours?
There was a scheduled 8.15 kick off during the COVID season I think. The latest game to kick off in the Premier League was the last game at Upton Park.
Is the Birmingham game definitely 1230? I need to move my train and possibly come up on the Friday as I need to dump my stuff in a hotel. Costing mine a fortune this club at the moment 😂
It has come up randomly before when I have booked tickets. Maybe when it gets to a certain number it comes into effect. However, there will be a lot of traffic for these ones.
Just seen that there is a rail replacement bus starting from 21:30 on the Saturday between Birmingham and Wycombe. So anyone planning on doing the train just needs to keep that in mind!
If only eh. But it does bring back fond memories of that sodden ride on a ‘Special’ to and from Brum and onward to Villa Park, 24 (TWENTY FOUR) spring times ago.
For those getting the train, there is a Free Shuttle Bus to / from the ground. Looks like pickup/drop off will be between New Street and Moor Street stations

Don’t give them ideas

I'm sure I went to a 10pm kickoff in Spain. Normal for them but was quite a novelty.

I think there have been one or two scheduled 8.30pms which I believe is the latest scheduled kick off time in this country.
Birmingham game on. When will we know how many tickets we will get?
So Birmingham at 12:30 it is to be
Just over 2200 I believe. Early kick off will put people off but think we will get close to selling out.

It is definitely 12.30
Thanks.
I assume the BIRWYC tickets will go on sale this week?
I see Wycombe have put a queuing system on the tickets page now - clearly expecting a lot of traffic for the Birmingham and Hollywood games.

Still no ticket info for the Brum game, yet Peterborough away is already on sale 🤔
For reference, Charlton were allocated 1,977 away tickets at Birmingham (including 506 safe standing)
any ideas when brum tickets will go on sale?
I guess they are playing catch up based on last weekend where us or Birmingham could have caused the move of the game due to FA Cup success.
But it is annoying. But little Wycombe can do until Birmingham do their bit, which they haven’t yet. Hoping an announcement either today or tomorrow.
I’ve booked my train and hotel regardless.
I'm more interested to find out the kick off time for Wrexham... do we expect to have news on the Sky selections this week?

I hope we're not gonna have that much stoppage time
Next goal wins?
Ha, more for those thinking of staying up there overnight!
the clubs are obviously negotiating the Football Specials with Chiltern Railways, with a combined rail/match ticket offer price.
Yeah, I know.

Wrexham game (15/3) not on Sky and therefore remains at 1500 KO at AP, which suits me fine as gives me plenty of time to get there.
