Mansfield have brought forward their League game against Walsall on October 15th.
It would have started at 3pm but will now kick-off at 1pm.
The idea is to save electric. Other clubs are considering whether to do the same but will probably wait until after Mansfield's game.
'Mansfield Town’s Sky Bet League Two encounter at home to Walsall on Saturday 15 October will now kick-off at the earlier time of 1pm.
'The match was originally scheduled to get underway at 3pm.
'The club is endeavouring to mitigate the forthcoming, considerable increase in energy bills.
'As part of these efforts, the earlier kick-off time will enable the club to discern whether significant savings can be made on floodlight usage and other energy costs.
'Moreover, following the trial of this change in kick-off time, the club will be able to better determine whether an earlier kick-off on a Saturday would have an affect on prospective attendances.'
