Well it's a view I suppose. I'm sure most employers would happily have given time off, maternity pay, sick pay, limitation of hours in safety critical industries, a right to representation, need I go on?...off their own back.Acting up
Grandstanding union fatcats fucking up things for ordinary people.

£5.1 billion UK vs £5.3 billion overseas so I’m not sure I’d call that small fry tbf.Every game is beamed live around the world with millions watching. PL money is small fry in comparison

That is impossible.No they shouldn't, it's not the 1970's or earlier.
As match going fan with a life outside of footy the variable k.o. times allow for other stuff, social, family, work, even attending other games etc
It should deffo be Home Away Home Away Home etc for the League programme though, no fuckin question.

If people are staying at home to watch the 12.30 and 17.30 Saturday games, they aren’t going to watch their local non-league side at 15.00 either because when the dinnertime and teatime games are on would be when they are travelling to and from the non-league 15.00 games (especially for away games) and having a Greggs on the way there, a few pints before and after the game and a chippy on the way home so it makes no difference if Prem 15.00 games were shown live in tele.I think a lot of consideration needs to be had of we remove the blackout.
The money should go down the leagues all the way down to none league.
They are the ones that would see the impact of people staying at home to watch a game rather than going.
But to be honest I do not trust the prem to distribute the funds down

A lot of non league clubs use the 12.30 and 5.30 games as a selling point. Try and people down in the clubhouse early. Or stay late. And still get to watch their local team live.
League 1 and 2 are the same, and that's why all lot have made prudent investments in sports bars. If you are the sort of team that gets under 5k at home it makes a significant difference.A lot of non league clubs use the 12.30 and 5.30 games as a selling point. Try and people down in the clubhouse early. Or stay late. And still get to watch their local team live.
The changing of kick-off times during the winter world cup was to take advantage shoulder games.
How many teams in a League would be needed to make it happen?That is impossible.
For me, Home Home Away Away etc happens far too often these days for it to be necessary.
We know it's TV and PL dictating the schedule for the £££ but it don't half piss match going fans around.
