In their infinite wisdom the EFL decided a few seasons ago it would be a great wheeze if the Championship, Leagues 1 and 2 all kicked off at different times, next weekend League 2 kicks off at 3pm, League 1 at 5.30 pm and the Championship kick offs at 12.30 on Sunday.
Absolutely nothing wrong with an early kick off time unless you are the fans of Swansea, Bristol City, Millwall, QPR and us who all have journeys of well over 200 miles not exactly fan friendly.
So my lucky ones whilst you are tucked up snugly in your beds next Sunday yours truly will attempt the get out of bed at 3.45 am to get on a coach to take me to Griffin Park, Brentford.
For those also attending Euston Station is closed that weekend and also their are rail replacement buses on part of the journey from Waterloo to Brentford, if you are walking best set off now.

Having done the ast 20 away games including Norwich away on a Wednesday night, took a bit of persuasion to say let's do it, so tickets bought, will be wearing dressing gown, Slippers and smoking a pipe so will be easy to spot by those other insomniacs on here who will be going.
The Bees didn't play yesterday due to Bolton's strike have had their usual type of season have played some fantastic football at home(they have picked up 43 points on their own patch) whilst away from home turn into a side who cannot win.
Brentford seem to have a habit of buying young up and coming players and selling them on for a fortune also have a useful scouting system which brings in cheapish foreign players who actually turn out to be quite good.
The main worry for them is keeping hold of players like Maupay, Watkins, Sawyers and Benrhama. Will be especially worried if Villa go up as Dean Smith may come a calling.
My personal record at Griffin Park is pretty naff, although was there when two North End legends made their last appearance for the club at Griffin Park.
One was Chris Humphreys who came on as a substitute majestically putting a cross passed the keeper from close range,. sadly for the away support it was an own goal the keeper that day was Anders Lindegaard who didn't play a league game after that we lost 5-0.
Griffin Park is unique it has a pub on every corner of the ground, the pubs are the Griffin, Princess Royal, The New Inn and the Royal Oak, yep been in all four.
This is possibly their last full season at the Griffin Park ground as they are constructing a new 20,000 seater stadium which I believe is virtual next to Kew Gardens station.
Here's Brentford's wiki bit
Brentford Football Club is a professional association football club based in Brentford, Greater London, England. They currently compete in the Championship, the second tier of English football. The club was founded on 10 October 1889. They have played their home games at Griffin Park since 1904, after a nomadic existence playing at five previous grounds.
Brentford's most successful period came during the 1930s, when it achieved three consecutive top-six finishes in the top flight. The club have been Football League Trophy finalists on three occasions. Their main rivals are fellow West London clubs Fulham and Queens Park Rangers.
They don't have many famous fans Greg Dyke and this man
Be afraid be very afraid
