The 3PM Kick-Off

Not open for further replies.

The TV companies pump so much money into the Premier League that they have every right (within reason) to dictate kick off times.

I'm sure that most us appreciate the huge revenues enjoyed by being a member of the Premier League. If every game kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday, then the TV income would drop, probably massively. You can't have it both ways.

On a typical weekend, I enjoy being able to watch a live game with another 2/3/4 TV games on top. For me, just being able to watch one game a weekend would be boring step backwards.
 

Sounds like an attention seeking student sports journo seeking an internship at Sky.
You can't build your day around it???? What's to build you complete clonk? You're going to Football . No one gives a sh*t about your pre match Pilates class or post match appearance on "Master Chef"

Saturday 3.00pm Thank you.
 
Our next three games are on a Monday night FFS!

Just stream every game and do away with real fans. Our U21 gave vs Mackems was streamed live (for free) and was watched by 700k viewers. More than watch BT sport.

That's why the clubs and TV firms dont give a toss about paying fans. Cyber fans are far less inconvenient.

Agreed. That's the difference between us and them. We don't build our day around it, it IS our day!!
 

It's simple. 12:45, 13:30, 17:30, 20:00 between two geographically close sides. 15:00, 16:00 for others. Although I'm somewhat reluctant to have Southampton vs Newcastle (for example) kick off at
16:00 on a Sunday.

So I'd say only 15:00 Saturday for games between sides that aren't close to each other.
