Subject: Australian match times

Hi,
I was wondering if sokker administration had considered making australian game times more user-friendly for australian users?

At the moment games are on at about 1 or 2am and it gets later with daylight saving. Perhaps bringing it forward to sunday evening say 7pm - 8pm rather than monday morning 1am - 2am would be better?

cheers

same for NZ times,

at the moment we were starting at 10pm, before we are starting midnight

edit: grammatical errors

actually League matches are alright which occur at 7-8pm AEST, although the cup matches are on 1-2am AEST yeh and 4am during AEDST. An earlier cup time would be appreciated :).

it's 4am for me :s

this is a serious matter. LOOK the australians and new zealanders are agreeing

Better do something about it :P

I know you have probably got the point already but just to futher back this up, it would definatly be great to have the games earlier

AUS and NZ agreeing on something? thats when you KNOW there's a problem

wow NZ and Australia are agreeing in something? This is really a surprise:P

current time for the next cup match is 17:01

which equals 3:01am here


tempted to stay up though :P

that`s is ... in my country is 17 sokker m ea 18 pm at me:)

Agree with the kiwis on this one. I think we should be able to let the games start about the same time as our league games.

Yep, it's fairly poor from the gamemasters to subject us to this when it could easily fixed I guess, at least going by other global games based in Europe like Hattrick which schedules the games in Oceania between 2pm and 4pm on sundays for league games and 2pm and 4pm on wednesdays for cup and friendly games, even though in Europe they play in the middle of our nights...

so? any of you other non-oceanians have a view point on this? Mods? admins?

I think I might watch my 3:30am cup match live.

^_~

Snowy11, that's preposterous! Lol ;-)

It really appears as if what many have been saying is just getting blown away as we have heard no responses and nothing has been changed. Thats not an attack by any means just the way it seems. Australian users & NZ users shouldnt have to stay up til 4am to see the match live, and although we can see it the next day its not exactly the same feeling as watching it live. I would (as would many others) like to see it same time as our league matches although an explanation as to why or why not would be helpful. :)
Only reason i could see why it doesnt get changed is it then opens up every other country to express similar ideas although it couldn't be too hard if one week we have it early and then we don't.

Believe me. Staff reads the forums and are aware of this issue ;)
