REMINDER: Basel kick-off at 7.30pm, NOT 7.45pm

Kick-off for the UEFA Cup game with FC Basel tonight has been brought foward 15 minutes and is now at 7.30pm - despite the match tickets stating 7.45pm. So please DO NOT turn up at 7.45pm.

For some reason the kick-off has been brought foward 15 minutes from the original 7.45pm time, so 7.30pm is the CORRECT kick-off time. Make sure you all know this and ignore the kick-off time stated on match tickets which says 7.45pm kick-off.

So to put it simply: 7.30pm - CORRECT, 7.45pm - INCORRECT.

We don't want everybody turning up late, 15 minutes into the game. For starters, the atmosphere should be a priority for fans.

7.45pm is wrong.
