When Wolfsburg were unable to sell out their stadium for a Europa League game against Napoli last season, the club's fan liaison officer Holger Ballwanz blamed the kick-off time as it made it difficult for Volkswagen employees to attend -- the German car manufacturer's headquarters are based in the city of Wolfsburg.

"The kick-off time is a bit unfortunate -- basically all three shifts are affected by it," Ballwanz had said. "Those working the last shift can't do it, and the same applies to the night shift. Those working the morning shift the next day have to travel a bit after the match to get home, so it's bad for them as well."
