With regard to kick off times ....
I am sure (but have been wrong before) that when Kenny Young came in he has stated that clubs can change the kick off time (even date) if both clubs agree
so if both clubs agree and the home club asks the game can be Friday night - it can be 12, 1, 2 or 3 oclock on Saturday (as long as light enough) and even on a Sunday
Clubs only need to ask - as said I might be wrong but sure this is available now
