I presume you mean the reason for last season then

Its on Police Request as it was last year so that fans arent drinking in the pubs for several hours before the game thus meaning they should be fairly sober during the game. Obviously a 12pm KO means only one hour in the pubs beforehand.

Or you could go to the glassblowers and start drinking at 9am.

Due to the Police I cannot go! I don't have many hours leave and I cannot justify taking a full day off work for the game!

Nothing to do with Ponte races. As someone has already said, there is no raceday on Sunday. It was Sunday just gone for the Wakefield match.

Trust me this is the reason for the early kick off.
