I do see the logic in it if I'm honest. Also it is better for the environment. |  | | |

Me too, makes sense, think I read that the only reason we had 3pm kick offs was because it was timed after the pubs had shut. |  |

I thought it was because the factories shut at lunchtime on Saturdays. |  |

Not good if we have early kick offs at distant opponents though, look at Sunday, coaches leaving at 03:00. |  | | |

Probably bit of both, factories shut at 12, give people time to sink a few then walk to the ground. | |

Might help with the anti-social problems at grounds if people can't get tanked up at lunchtime.
Just end up in the pub afterwards and then football won't get blamed when stuff gets trashed. |  | | |

This is good. There is so much energy wastage generally in society, it's about time that some of these issues were addressed.
Shops that have heating/air con on continuously with there doors open, or automatic doors that open and shut every few seconds.
People who sit in cars for 10-20 mins with their engine running for no other reason than to keep cool or warm
Towns with multiple supermarkets and petrol stations open 24 hrs a day. Just allow 1 or 2 in a certain area and rotate it every week.
Sorry, going a bit off-topic but it makes me angry....  |  |

And don't get me started on the amount of energy that would be saved if we went to Central European time. |  |

As a season ticket holder who lives two hours away, this would suit me for home games because it would mean I get home earlier. But it may not be great for those whose kids play football on a Saturday morning, or who work in the morning. |  | | |

Most likely , players, too. Back in the day.
Most of them would have worked full time jobs. |  | | |

Not when they became professional footballers, they didn't. Some did other jobs during the summer, when wages were lower. | |

Regarding energy.... is there a reason why there are 0 football stadiums with solar panels? |  |

Unless they have removed them, The New Lawn Stadium had 180 solar panels installed 11 years ago. |  |

I put that question forward for the recent forum.
Fulham have installed a large number recently. |  |

Apparently Spurs' stadium has them too. So whilst small, the number of English football stadiums with solar panels is greater than 0. | |

You would think though what with the enormous roof space n' all that it would be a more widespread initiative. |  |

Always wondered why these huge warehouses like Amazon or John Lewis haven't got them also, purely down to initial cost? |  | | |

I'm sure any cost will be offset by the tax they pay 
Every energy intensive business with a large amount of roof space should be forced to install renewables, it's a no-brainer. Even if it doesn't supply all their needs, it lowers demand on the NG. | |

It was because Saturday morning was once part of the working week. Finish work at noon head home wash change for 3 o'clock kick-off |  | | |
