Great news

[Wokingclaret]

Great news, but don't like these 5:30 KO times, we're not all in lockdown!

[ClaretTony]

It's a start again and the campaigning has got us some breathing space at the least.

Big well done to all the supporter groups I was involved with on this one along with the FSA.

Marvellous news, back to another footy fest and saving money to boot !

[Papabendi]

enjoy the much inflated ticket prices when you can go back....

Marvellous news, back to another footy fest and saving money to boot !

It means I can start watching the games again. I believe they weren't good, but I found it so hard missing the Chelsea & Brighton games although the foodbank benefited.

[Chester Perry]

reasonable news for domestic supporters, all supporters being mucked about with the kick off times, no doubt means the Premier League will incur further rebates for overseas broadcasters and a reduced rights value for future cycles.

Monday at 5.30. Grrrr...yet another game I now can’t go to...

I know that's a pain but probably ensuring the games are spread out. We do seem to be getting more than our share of these games though.

just knew we'd get the dreaded 5,30 monday slot,

inevitable - the broadcasters do not really want to do it - they believe it devalues their offering, we draw the smallest audience so they out us in the graveyard slot that runs the least interference on their advertising revenues

5.30pm Monday evening - what on earth is that all about ?

[Chester Perry]

I should add, that is probable that this season could see us with an all time low number of picked games - what with all these games being shown anyhow

Ask sky. They run football

Currently paying for a ST I can’t use to watch matches...... then on top of that I can’t watch matches on telly because I’m still at work at 5:30.

Great result

5.30pm Monday evening - what on earth is that all about ?

At the end of the day, the alternatives were paying £14.95 (and even then they were using this day and time) or not having the option to see them at all which was a real concern. It's no a good time, but better than nothing.

[dibraidio]

Will that be the third Saturday game this season? We've had amazingly few Saturday games this season.

Monday 5.30 seems to be where they put the most unattractive game of the weekend.

Monday 5.30 seems to be where they put the most unattractive game of the weekend.

why can’t ‘the most unattractive game’ be broadcast at the same time as the ‘star’ game at 8:00pm?

same number would watch each game!

Credit to you and the likes for the time and effort that you’ve put in whilst I like many just whinge but do nowt about it.
Honestly though the lack of the uptake of PPV and more so the subsequent unattractiveness to advertisers is surely the may reason for the U turn
Sorry, but that’s just how I see it

Doesn't seem to be cut and dried - the week after it's Leicester v Fulham in that slot but surely West Brom v Sheff U (Sat 20:00) would be less attractive.

aren't Leicester in Europe on the Thursday before that so cannot play on Saturday

The lack of uptake was hugely helped with all the national supporters groups putting forward to foodbank donation idea. The lads from Newcastle came up with that one so Haway the Lads.

The whole campaign has been led by Kat from Spurs. She’s absolutely brilliant at getting things done.

Me, Burnley FC Supporters Groups, just pleased we could play an active part in this. The battle is not over by any means yet but today’s news is a success in getting rid of the appalling PPV.
