Early and Late Kick-Offs have become commonplace in recent times. Until about 1990 it was unthinkable for a game to kick off at any other time than 3pm on a Saturday, or 7.45 on a Tuesday. Even if the visiting team was stuck on the motorway or detained for any other reason, the match would begin as planned without them. In 1983 Crewe beat Exeter 29-0 after playing the first half on their own. The visitors had phoned ahead to explain that they wouldn’t make it on time, but Crewe officials explained that they ‘had to crack on’ as they had ‘a lot on this weekend’.

The only exception to the normal etiquette was that Tranmere Rovers used to stage their home games on Friday nights, but this was an odd business and not discussed much in polite society.
