Early start for Cardiff

Last updated : 18 March 2004 By Tony Scholes

The fixture is scheduled for Saturday 17th April with a 3:00 p.m. kick off but Clarets Mad have been led to believe that the kick off time could well have been changed to noon on police advice and that this decision was taken over a month ago.

As yet there is certainly no confirmation from either club but if you intend travelling to Ninian Park for this game then beware it could mean an early start.

It would be no surprise and the home game against them back at the beginning of November suffered for the same reason. Clubs are powerless to do anything about it if the police decide to change the kick off time as we found out last season with the ridiculous bringing forward of the Sheffield Wednesday game.

Checks with both clubs today have confirmed that the 3 o’clock remains but don’t be surprised if this changes.
