This wording in the website article is laughable for three reasons.
Firstly, (although I admire the clubs optimism) are England really going to get as far as the quarter-finals?
Secondly, if England reach the quarter-finals by winning their group and play on Sat 10th Dec, the game would kick off at 7pm. A 3pm kick off at Broadband gives home fans ample time to get home/in the pub to watch the England game.
Thirdly (and this is the proper own goal) if England reach the quarter-finals by finishing runners up in their group, then they will be playing on Fri 9th Dec anyway with a 7pm kick off🤦♂️ Now that would to quote the club ‘greatly affect the home and away attendance’
Let’s face it, regardless of whatever day of the week and kick off time we play Hartlepool at home, there is hardly going to be thousands of away fans making the long journey south.
