That was a bit of cluster**** yesterday, scheduling in Perth v Adelaide for a 2:30pm in Perth. It was mother ****ing son of a bitch hot here yesterday - consistently 37 throughout the game. What the **** are the FFA thinking? Perth should basically never have daytime home games - earliest kick off should be about 5pm local time.
You bring up a good point.
Back in the days of the NSL they made sure games kicked off at an hour that was suitable for the weather and not for TV.( Mind you they didn't have much TV coverage thankyou Channel 7)
I find it ridiculous that we have any games kick off prior to 6pm local time period. Lets face it forget the cluster**** the weather is today but generally speaking Summer time it is always still unpleasant outside at 5pm anytime the temp reached 30 degrees during the day.
Friday night game should kick off at 8pm AEDST not 7:30pm
Saturday games should kick off at 6pm AEDST and 8pm AEDST not 5:00 pm/5:30
and the Sunday games should not be kicking off until 6pm AEDST at the earliest
The FFA weren't thinking "let's schedule a Perth match in Perth for the 2:30pm kickoff". What they were thinking was "let's schedule a game in Adelaide for the 5pm slot" but didn't think "Oh, Perth are going to fxxk up their renovations which means they will have to swap their R1 match, fxxking themselves up and forcing them to play in the middle of the day".
Perth fxxked up here as well.
^ Did not realise it was an amended fixture
I still think it was pretty stupid to schedule the switched fixture at that time. It was hardly the club's fault that the stadium wasn't right to use in the first instance, so I don't see why they should have been punished.
Like I read somewhere else, a 6.45 or 7 pm kick-off would have been fine for both the locals and television audience.
How often do Perth have actual night time games? I honestly can't remember one at all... and 7pm kick off might mean no clashing for TV but they aren't exactly keen on showing HAL at a later hour, are they? That's 10pm AEDT... midnight finish. That eats into their EPL coverage on a normal weekend.
Remember a late kickoff a few years back when Jade North scored in the last minutes to win a game there.
was that the game we scored two in stoppage time?
Was that the game eags broke his knee but turned out better than before?
Any excuse to post it again...
