To have both Man Utd v Liverpool games kick off at 20:05

They might prefer to police it at that time as there could be less people attending a 6pm

I'm enjoying the Europa League more than the Champion's League. Seems more fun and every game is entertaining with a "battle"

Plus I find Lineker very overrated.

Seriously ??

This game is bound to attract 75000 fans even at 2 in the afternoon !!

The extra 2 hours without drinking time will appeal to the Police

75000 will then be leaving at 8pm right into the middle of St Patricks Day celebrations!

The police will love that.

I've already got my tickets. To say I'm nobbed off is an understatement with it being 6pm. Some of us actually work.

Considering GMP allowed Saturday teatime for this fixture earlier this season then anything goes in terms of KO time.

And as for the 'less people attending' comment, oh dear.

...and "because it's poor England we must have 8.05pm kickoffs". Please.

I'm amazed its 6pm but I don't think the police will mind normally.
However it is St Patrick's day. Huge Irish population in Manchester. An added ingredient in to the mix

Fact is that GMP and not UEFA, Man Utd or Liverpool will ultimately determine what kick off time is the most acceptable... to them. We await their decision.

I have to say though that 6pm is an utterly ludicrous kick-off time for the middle of a huge urban area on a weekday for a guaranteed 75,000 crowd. Completely ridiculous, heads neeed banging together!

Really is about time the FA told UEFA to sod off. Maybe the two biggest clubs in the country will finally help them do this.

However it's fine for bigger nations such as Spain, Germany or Italy with healthy crowds. Diddums.

It's 6 and 8.05 fliped. End of story. That's how it works. People get over it.

Has the Europa league had a fixture like this before?

What's The FA got to do with it? It's a UEFA competition.

They are our governing body, so I guess they'd get involved in discussions?

OK my mistake. Really no need to respond like that. You could just explain.

It's only fine because in most of Europe it's 19.00 and 20.00 local time, not 18.00

Good job we have not got a World Cup to host, with those nasty 2pm or 5pm ko's.

Don't be utterly ridiculous, of course they won't.

Do you really think UEFA or any governing body or organisation are allowed to schedule an event against the advice of the police? And do you really see UEFA, if told that the police won't allow the game to kick off at a certain time, would have such a petulant 12 year old response like you suggest?

Every football body around the world has needed to shift a game through police advice/instruction, often on a regular basis. Never have they huffed "Fine, play it behind closed doors then!" like someone with the maturity of a newt.

Well, yes. For two reasons.

1) The police can only recommend to the local authority that Old Trafford has its safety certificate revoked or suspended, or amended to prevent a 6.05pm KO. They don't have this massive power that people think they have.

2) If the game is behind closed-doors, there's no need for police.

What are you talking about being played behind closed doors?

Do you think UEFA is run by 12 year old girls who'll get in a huff if the police say the time of the match has to be moved?

What a ridiculous response and quite ridiculous that you think this will be there response.

Do you really think UEFA are going to want their most high profile tie of the round in the competition closed behind closed doors because they for some reason point blank refused to move a kick off time?

Your familiarity with how adults who run organisations like UEFA behave is questionable

If GMP were to object to the kick-off time (which they won't, but let's run with this) and the local authority agreed, and UEFA weren't for moving, the game would be behind closed doors.

No, I think they mandate kick-off times and require the clubs to fulfil them.

But in the world where adults are in charge of making these decisions it's unlikely, isn't it?

How many times have the FA, or indeed any footballing body in the world, ever responded to the police in a local area requesting a kick-off time change responded with "FIne, play it behind closed doors, I don't care #notevenbovvered"

Well, no, because this is UEFA who are highly protective of things like kick-off times.

The FA and the domestic leagues are generally more flexible. UEFA has a strict schedule of kick-off times.

“"FIne, play it behind closed doors, I don't care #notevenbovvered'”

What was that you were saying about adults?
