Because of the energy crisis rumors are circulating that some teams are wanting early kick-offs to cut down on their usage, especially Leagues 1 and 2 and lower down the pyramid.
Suggestions have been made for games to kick off as early as 1pm.

Could our injured players be used to power the floodlights using exercise bikes during games, which will also aid their recovery?
Win win, surely?

Research by Dale Vince found it costs £100 per game for floodlights :D :D :D

What happens on those damp, grey days where daylight seems non-existent?


It will be up to the referee, they make the decision on the floodlights as to whether or not they are needed , and it all comes down to safety.

I’d imagine the lights may still be used if needed - all conjecture on my part, admittedly

How many people could attend a 1pm midweek fixture,doesn't make financial sense to me.


Guessing this will only apply to weekend games in the winter months where floodlights are needed for the second half - no way it’s viable for midweek kickoffs as it would drastically reduce attendances, negating any savings.
