I travel to OT from South London and I quite like the early kick off because although I have to leave at the crack of dawn on a Saturday, I'm home in time to get a Saturday evening. I am less amused by late afternoon kick offs or evening kick offs when there is work the next day. Arsenal at 4 on a Sunday is not good. Villa in the Cup, at eight on a Sunday or whenever it was, was really taking the piss. And the moving of matches from Saturday to a Friday or, much worse, a Monday, also not a happy event for me. What pisses me off is the constant changing so you can't plan, and the late decisions, particularly for European matches. Because of the home/away and the Wednesday/Tuesday I have to set aside 24 entire afternoons in my work diary, knowing that only one quarter of them (if we do well) will turn out to be home matches, and the draw is only a few days before the match in several instances. Obviously nobody can legislate for the uncertainty of getting through or not, but they could draw the tournament like the World Cup, so at least we'd have some idea of either/or well in advance. It speaks volumes for my administrative skills that I have only missed two European matches ever, and one of those was a family problem.
