The Poolie Bunker

Just a reminder lads that this Saturday all national league matches start at 12.30 pm rather than 3pm. So if you are viewing the match from DAZN the match will be shown live in the UK without restrictions . Those abroad are unaffected. Glad I looked it up as had penciled in the Hull City Man U game for 12.30. Been caught out before with this when not checking the kick off time

Thanks for the heads up.
Hadn’t realised it was an early kick off

main question is why the early KO.s/

DAZN generally does not show live football games at 3:00 PM on Saturdays in the UK due to the statutory Saturday afternoon blackout rules (UEFA Article 48). Live viewing is restricted, but DAZN provides on-demand replays starting later in the evening.

Bad enough our fans having to set off early for a trip to London but a Heed fan on the radio earlier saying he's having to get up at 4 am to travel down to Yeovil

i,m sure moving all the KO times to 12.30 has nothing to do with DAZN viewing figures. thing is now you just cannot take a saturday kick off time for granted and need to keep checking before you get a ticket or make arrangements to go. there must have been a reason at the outset to play games on a saturday that KO at 3pm or 2.15 as it was in the dark winter months before floodlights. now its think of a time and we,ll kick a game off then. future my arse.
