NO!! Works in Spain, some start as late as nine.
Spanish normally go out for night on the town around 10-11 at night, so works for them.
Not UK though. All day to drink before game starts - then spilling into pubs after.
And then transport getting home for away fans would be madness.

Tv companies dictating again isn't it.
Personally I think there are too many different ko times as it is.
Friday night football creeping in, lunchtime , 3pm and tea time Saturday. Umpteen various slots on a Sunday and Monday night games. It's over kill.

Not very family friendly is it at that time of night if it's a game parents want to take kids to. Potential disorder with people drinking for at least 8 hours before the start of games. Must cause real problems in some households. Before long I.can see there being enough various slots spread out that every game will be on t.v.

When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

Massive no from me. I travel up from Medway and whilst the journey isn't horrendous, the later the game finishes the longer it takes.

Imagine the poor away fans (ours included) - missing options for last trains home etc.

Within the next 5 years every premier league gane will be played over the weekend at various times from Friday evening through to Monday night football.

Coming from the other side of Oxford, trains are a much better option than driving.

Except that that option is scarcely open to me with a final whistle at nearly ten o'clock.

Never mind, it is the Arse, so that's a nailed on victory!

Football is a world market.
So to keep the Premiership in the shop window and readily accessible to a worldwide audience matches will in the future have to be played 7 days a week including evenings.

Saturday evenings 19:45 coming up in this round of packages being offered. I bet Sunday evenings 19:45 in the next set (that would be a sh*t time to get home from as an away supporter of any distance)!

Packages have been split up into smaller lots as their are more bidders wanting to entering the market. Sky & BT are going to join forces and allow each others customers to watch so they keep the competition out!

This means there will not be such a huge rise in bidding for the new packages as the Premiership hoped for but interesting to see what BT & Sky charge us for showing what they buy? They won't be such fierce rivals!
