Don't book a coach, there is a heatwave on the way , the stadium might melt , the pitch may turn into a swamp , the Dales may suffer from the Derwent river tsunami .Quote:

Sky rule the roost I've never understood why they can't show games at 3 o clock on a Saturday they don't give a shit about real fans who travel up and down the country no the would rather a team from either North or South travel either way for 5 hours to make a 12 pm kick offQuote:

I believe before sky the clubs used to share the gate receipts. Now the home team gets it all. This meant more revenue for the bigger clubs.
Also I believe we are not far away from a subscription service where you can watch your own team at any time it kicks off. At the time the premier league was drawn up , TV revenue was a relatively small percentage of income , where as gate receipts were a relatively large percentage. That’s why they tried to protect gate receipts by not showing 3pm kick offs etc.
Nowadays TV revenue is a massive percentage of income. Big clubs like Man Utd etc would make a lot more from streaming the games live around the world to its fan base. This would mean having to attack fans to the stadium by lowering prices to actually watch the game live etc.
