The Premier League schedule is out, and with it, a wave of discontent has washed over Liverpool fans. The sight of multiple 12:30 kick-offs has left many feeling frustrated, especially for those who have to juggle work and their beloved Reds.
"It's a nightmare for working fans"
The early start times pose a real challenge for fans who have to work on Saturdays. Many take to social media to express their frustration:

- "Can't believe I have to choose between watching my team and paying my bills," lamented another.
While the league might argue these early kick-offs help global audiences, they seem to have overlooked the very real concerns of the fans who make up the heart of the club.
"Just another way to squeeze the fans"
Some fans are seeing the 12:30 kick-offs as a way for the Premier League to maximize profits, sacrificing fan experience for commercial interests.
- "It's all about money. The league doesn't care about us anymore" argued one disgruntled supporter.
- "They're making it harder and harder to watch the matches," added another.
The frustration is palpable, with fans feeling like their passion for the game is being disregarded.
"The team deserves our support, no matter the time"
Despite the inconvenience, Liverpool fans are known for their unwavering support. Despite the grumbling, most fans will undoubtedly still find a way to cheer on their team, whether it's in the pub, at a friend's house, or by listening to the radio.
- "Liverpool will always have my support, but these early kick-offs are a real kick in the teeth," one fan shared.
The debate about the Premier League schedule is likely to continue. One thing is certain, Liverpool fans will continue to show their loyalty, even if it means having to sacrifice a little sleep.
