The law was introduced around 60 years ago years ago to stop attendances at games being reduced especially in lower leagues.A question I have about the 3 o'clock blackout in the UK. The rest of the world can subscribe and watch but not the UK. It can't be because of reduced gates at the games Shirley?

The only time it was withdrawn was during the pandemic
Now that clubs have sold their arses for cash, that 3'oclock nonsense should be rescinded.
It’s not the clubs that have sold their arses for cash that are supposed to benefit from it.
It isn't about being televised it's about people through the gates.Those clubs are very unlikely to be televised though, I remember getting giddy seeing cameras at Maine Rd seeing the cameras and knowing we would be on match of the day.

Nice to see that the BBC have got our presentation as the chosen graphic but what's come over 'em?bbc report made £7.2m in 5 years, other members 3-5 years in prison.
Not directly but indirectly.
But their fanbases are also not as loyal and also more likely to be tempted to watch TV than go to watch kick and rush on a cold winter.
That’s the argument anyway, I suppose it's also a law from an era where there was less tribalism. Tbh the Premier league ought to just come to an agreement to give a fairer share to lower leagues to maintain their infrastructure and it could get away with a lift of the 3pm blackout.
