Restart

[SaturdaySammy 49]

Has there been any official word on when the start to the new season may be? 

Surely it can't be expected for teams to do 3-4 months of pre-season training and then 'ticking over' waiting for it....

[glensmad 5,044]

No there hasn't yet.

But I do expect that there will be reasonably soon.

I suppose it'll be soon, and it's all down to the time and training clubs are putting in now, as there's little point in hiring top class facilities to have your unofficial training sessions otherwise, is there?

See some teams announcing provisional friendlies in September great news.

 

Be good to start 10th Oct save clashing with Old Firm game the following week?

When the season does start what are the thoughts regarding kick off times? Should they stay the same or be a bit more  flexible?  ie back to 3 o'clock kick-offs, evening starts in the winter months for teams with floodlights?

Elvis is dead ? I'm all shook up. Hopefully the non lge will get started September, with fans allowed to attend - with restrictions. Have the kick offs always been 2pm ? which I don't mind, though I would like a few more midweek games,using the lights - that's why clubs installed them isn't it ? 

[Lokloyal 541]

Always been a 3pm ko fan.There is no doubt gates suffered with us kicking off at 2pm against live televised games so now is a chance to put it back.I acknowledge that the issue comes when light is a problem so then we adjust to one uniform earlier time where required

Kick offs will be 2pm.

Any particular reason for 2 pm? As the grade is now senior I thought maybe the kick- off would revert back to the traditional 3 pm?

The clubs discussed it at the recent Zoom meetings and there didn't appear to be much objection to staying at 2pm. There will be a winter adjustment to 1.45pm, and changes can be made to the kick off time for individual matches if both teams are in agreement.
