Is it to limit the inevitable casualties?
EDIT - 12:30, thanks mate.

Like I said mate intelligence!! The intelligence being lets get everone out of bed earlier and watch them all get pissed afterwards.

I've seen the reason given a few times as "to avoid a clash with the Six Nations England-Wales clash later in the afternoon".
To be honest, I'm none the wiser as to why 90% of the crowd have to be inconvenienced just because there's a rugby match going on at 4.30 at Twickenham ?

I'm sure it is designed to reduce the chances of trouble. Whether it'll make enough of a difference to justify the pain in the arse of a 12.30 kick-0ff, I'd doubt?

Remember that according to Staffs police, nobody drinks before 1PM.

Never mind, we can take great comfort in the knowledge that Tony Scholesy Scholes will have put up a great fight on behalf on the supporters against this inconvenience and will njot have given in until the Chief of Stafordshire Police threatened to tickle his tummy!  Given the fact that a game against opposition we have had previous with in the form of Newcastle United, whom no doubt will be seen to have brough three times as many supporters as Cardiff, was allowed to kick off at 6.15, facilitating all day drinking, it makes perfect sense. No doubt the calming influence of Motty and Alan Hanson were taken into account for that situation. |
