My brother in law lives in Bristol and reckons fans travelling to the game will need to leave Morecambe no later than 5am and possibly earlier if travelling by coach to get to the game for its 12 o clock kick off.

Traffic on a Sunday is normally heavy around the Bristol area and on the motorway going south towards Devon.

Why the hell is it a 12o'clock KO? The clubs are far apart and the roads are getting busy!

A noon kick off on a Sunday is just stupid. As always, no consideration for fans. Although I'm sure most will still be celebrating the King's coronation anyway.

No logical reason as there are other games kicking off at various times in the afternoon albeit not in efl1.

On the Monday games in ef2 kck off 12.30.

Some games are kicking off on Coronation Day at 3pm.

I think clubs can rearrange the KO times if both agree. Did our club try to get it rearranged? It may turn out to be one of the most important games in the club's history..... with few fans in attendance

Not on the last game of the season. All matches have to be played at the same time so no-one has prior knowledge of results. Why 12? I suspect TV is involved.

If our survival in EFL1 depends on a positive result I suspect it could well be the largest away league attendance since Coventry despite early start.

I think we've taken 1,100 to Fleetwood Town (sell outs) in both of the last two seasons, and last year we also took 1,150+ to Accrington Stanley. There was a following of 784 at Coventry for the 0-0.

Even if we need a result for the final game, I can't see us taking more than 250 to Exeter on a Sunday for a high noon kick-off + unless you are willing to drive it might be problematic to get there with limited organised coach travel.

First things first, a result is required tomorrow - preferably three points - and for other fixtures to go our way.

Sounds like we need some sleeper coaches

I really hope that the Club/Trust find a way to provide travel to this game

We'll be making a long weekend of it as it's a lovely part of the country and it may, but hopefully not, be our last league 1 game.

We're lucky to be in this position, I realise not all are.

5am coaches stacked up at the ground. I reckon we will take 500-600+

A big week on and off the field. Just hope they can find a way.
