old football enigmas

by LUX » 25 Feb 2014 15:54

why did:

a. Bury kick off their Saturday home games at 3.15,
b. Stockport play their home games on Friday evenings, and
c. Torquay kick off Saturday home games at 7.30 pm?

I'm guessing b. was to avoid clasing with bigger clubs.

Tranmere did the same, briefly.

I guess local industry shift times might have had something to do with it.

Chesterfield used to kick off at 3.15 too

Probably due to the time most people finished work that afternoon, giving them an extra 15 to get to the games
