    Why are we kicking off 15 minutes later than all the rest of tonight’s fixtures?

    Might be down to allowing fans a bit extra time to get to the ground. My Sister lives
    around 5 miles from the Hawthorns and the roads around there, particularly on the nearby
    M6 are very busy. The game is also on Sky ( red button), so it might be to fit in with their
    schedule.

    might be wrong, but I am sure that WBA always kick off at 8pm on midweek games don't they?

    It's because of the altitude, players need the additional time to adjust to it.

    The matchday programme at the weekend said 7:45 pm. Then again it still had Bristol City down as 3 pm a week on Saturday.

    It's so we only have to play 30 minutes in the second half in order to keep the WBA score down...
