DAZN wanted to televise it and asked the league to move it so that they could.Pablo wrote: Fri Jul 31, 2026 8:45 pm So what's the definitive reason why it's been changed? If it's a good reason surely we would have been old by now!
Farnham Game moved forward
I would have thought if it was purely a case of the game being televised that would normally all be sorted before formally announcing it on each club’s website,however, this has just been a complete mess without anyone stating why the hell it has been changed!

The game is not on DAZN (not on their current schedule) so TV is not the reason for the change in kick off time.
Agree that a Friday kick off for the first game of the season is poor. Hope it does not become a habit.
Our first game on DAZN will be Truro away at the end of the month.
Onwards and upwards!

If the league tell us to change it because Dazn want to show it at a certain time we have no say in it and have to move it. There was a message come up on screen during our streamed live game against Hashtag that all of our games will be available on Dazn. Heard we were getting big number tuning in for the games we streamed last season, more than most NL games with much bigger crowds. Expect some kick off changes this season, nothing the club can do about it.RampantDuke wrote: Fri Jul 31, 2026 9:45 am The decisions made by John Grabowski and the club so far have been very positive but this is the first big mistake he has made. How can anyone justify moving the first game of the season to a Friday night? We are not in the Premier League so we don't have Sky Sports telling us what to do. We watch non-league football because it isn't corrupted by the TV companies. We had a massive day planned and now it's been ruined for absolutely no reason at all. My only fear with KSI being involved would be that we start trying to be too clever and make decisions based around stupid gimmicks. I'm not accusing anyone of doing that here because I don't know the facts (as nobody has been given a decent reason for this ridiculous kick off time) but it smacks of a cheap gimmick to me.
