I’m a traditionalist so 3pm Saturday although something special about an angry midweek Goodison under floodlights . Chelsea game the other week got the place going for lots of reasons that weren’t usual but I hate the early ko .
 
I’m Australian (though I live in Malaysia at the moment).

The Saturday 3pm games often translates to 2am in Australian east coast. Back in the early days of following Everton, I’d sit up till 4am trying to listen to a radio stream of the game and following the ESPN text play by plays.

The early Saturday games would actually let me go to bed at a reasonable time of 1:30am.

Honestly the matches should be timed so that they occur over the Pacific Ocean between 12-6am. That way it’s actually at a reasonable time for the rest of the world, sorry to everyone living in the Pacific. I’d guess that would probably mean having the matches on 3 hours earlier, the early game should start at 9am. And wouldn’t that make much more sense, the game would be played in daylight rather than it being played in the dark by 4pm.

Also Australia is in the same time zone as China, that’s a huge audience.

I was in Vancouver for the first few games this season games were on at 7am it was weird having Everton potentially ruin your day before the day had even started.

Great time for a game - Saturday breakfast, bacon, eggs, pancakes the lot.
 

All 10 games at 3.00 on Saturday. Koff Sky.

I Hate being the early ko but I quite like having an early kick off on in the pub when we all meet up for the 12 o’clock beer . I mean I suppose that they could just shaft the football league and Scottish footy fans to keep me happy .
