Scunthorpe Home

Rovers’ Sky Bet League One game against Scunthorpe United scheduled for Saturday December 15 will now kick-off at 12.15pm.

The change in kick-off time is at the request of South Yorkshire Police, to ensure they have the resources to cover all games in the region that day.

Can you change the thread title, please? Putting those two words together doesn't bear thinking about.

[deebee]

Why is always us that has to change the kickoff time to please the police?. why not another club they have to police that day?.

[Boomstick]

probably because it's the game most likely to have disorder 

[idler]

Probably a smaller gate means the fans will disperse far quicker after the game.

[Filo]

It's to allow them the same privilage the Rotherham fans got last year' give them a free run in Donny at 8am

[colincramb]

I don’t mind mid day kick offs, means you can follow up the victory with a day sesh 😂

[ravenrover]

And here was me thinking it was because Sky were going to put the game on TV

[Crowle Rover]

One of the games I look forward to and I've no chance of making it.

SYP would be out of their depth policing the derby match between Trumpton and Chigley!
Last season both Millwall's games against Barnsley and Sheffield United were made 1 pm kick offs. I know we have a name from the past but there was absolutely no reason for this to happen. Nothing happened!
Now this season Rotherham away is moved to a 12.30 kick off on a Sunday. SYP need to have a long hard look at themselves. They are useless. More interested in pushing around a few hundred football supporters than sorting out other issues under their noses in Rotherham.
All brought to you by the dream team who gave us the Hillsborough fiasco.

Didn’t Millwall do thousands of pounds worth of improvement around Rotherham that day when they smashed the place up?

[Axholme Lion]

The day the Rotherham lot thought it would be really funny to gloat at our relegation in the car park and then blame us for kicking off...

[RedJ]

The exit from their away end is f**king ridiculous, the way it splits into two levels.

agreed, apart from the final sentence. f**king ridiculous statement

[RedJ]

How so, exactly?

To be fair, they did try and mitigate against the issues this causes by installing slightly unstable temporary fence last time, presumably in the expectation that neither set of fans would turn their heads through 90 degrees and spot each other.
