Liverpool has a massive fan support in Australia,the early game means it's 10pm to watch it here… every other game is 1am or 3 am, hard for us to watch
The EPL and PGMOL and Manchester police are corrupt …being paid by an Arab sheik. London being the money laundering capital of the world says it all.
So all you fans saying moaning liverpool the stats are stacking up
Police is the reason
There should be a maximum amount of times a team has to fill that 12.30 kick off slot
Its to do with ridiculous police force in lpool, NEVER see them in my local area, must be on all kinds of overtime to police a match.
No audience for City, Arsenal against the mid to lower level teams.
Liverpool draws the biggest audience against any opposition. Simple.
It shows what kind of the super EDIOT PL is. It so pissed me off to see Liverpool play Everton at 12:30 after an international break in October and then again against Man City at 1 o'clock in November. It's double ridiculous now. Thanks PL for make it easy for me not to have watched the games any more.
PL IS SO KCUF PU.
The reason is due to Police request. The theory is an early start doesn’t allow supporters to get too drunk before a match. It is why many big derbies start early too. It’s a form of preventative riot control.
Liverpools swashbuckling and entertaining style of play means the television companies know its gets viewers and subscriptions 🤑
Also the liverpool owners know early kick off means greater exposure and loot 💰 in the far east.
Before EPL alongside with PGMOL is so invested in getting LFC not to win matches…..
Baffling how Stevie is the only one on this panel that sees the unfairness of the 12:30p start coming out of an international break. That being said, I’m sure the same Stevie will say the reds should get on with it and stop moaning because the early start is no disadvantage.
As someone who lives in the Pacific Time Zone, I hate noon kickoffs (4 am).
And we just learned today that our match against Crystal Palace in December has been moved to a 12:30pm kickoff, making the fourth this season and the 18th since Klopp took over. The next nearest side over that span is Spurs with 6. It's beyond ridiculous now.
Blatant cheating. Yet so many believe that the Prem is somehow above corruption. Morons.
The bright side we gain more supporters in Asia.. Reason is LFC is atop and popular team..
The premier league appointed Liverpool to be the official breakfast club in England.
Man city is bribe city. Klopp only manager with a winning record against pep. 13/12. Cheat Refs were highly overpaid in the middle east days before working for owners of man city. Man city is a cheat team. Rigging the pl daily.
Tbf, this is not really an FA/Premier league problem as much as it is the broadcasters. Premier league just generates the fixture weeks, broadcasters pick the time and dates.
Liverpool gets unfair treatment more than any of their club mates . After every international break there’s an Early Kik off for , why can’t spread to all of the clubs
