If all games kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday no one would get revved up.
TV money more important obviously.
I think you might be surprised in the next few years – Ramadan typically moves forward approximately ten days in the calendar each year (starts 8th Feb next year), so stoppages in 3pm fixtures will be increasingly likely.
The less tolerant will presumably get extremely wound up, despite probably somehow managing to cope with fake injuries to goalkeepers to allow players to have a drink.

The 1996 edition of Inglis’ book says that the £45000 expenditure raised the capacity to 10000, “but a further £300000 worth of work was still needed”. The 6096 figure isn’t mentioned in this edition of the book.

No respect yesterday when a fan died at the Leeds man u game was the game wasn’t called off I wonder why, wouldn’t be because Sky were televising the game would it.
Apologies for pedantry, but Leeds v Man U was broadcast by TNT.
Sky did, however, broadcast the Fulham v Liverpool game, which was delayed for a similar incident, despite your misgivings about their influence on the game.

Is there even a hint of praise in that paragraph? I read it as:
“I suppose it would be rude if I didn’t mention Matt, despite him lumbering us with contracts over at least two more years whose terms I’m not happy with. Hopefully, remaining staff will be able to squeeze some sort of value from them until such time as we can negotiate better deals elsewhere.”

“Vile abuse” is never acceptable, but if anyone should be prepared for it, it’s a bloke who spent a long playing career glorying in being a wind-up merchant and then followed it by being a dismissive “how many caps have you got?” type on radio phone-ins.
I don’t particularly dislike the bloke, but if anyone’s been asking for it…

Worst one I saw was at Barnsley can’t remember who was in goal but just didn’t see the ball at all when they scored bugger me he to then got a cap from the crowd.
Jak Alnwick. Straight at him from forty yards, and all he could do was flap at it. The sun was blinding from the far right corner that day, and yet didn’t think about a cap till it was too late.
Yesterday was as bad; Rory frequently using his hands to shade his eyes from the sun, but not considering a cap at any point…?
