BigManInTheBarclay 84 Posted June 16, 2011 guessing a few weeks after the prem post the fixtures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted June 16, 2011 I can see a date in the future where TV companies give a list of matches to the Premier League detailing when they want them scheduling and making everyone elses fall around them. I hope it never happens but I fear that is the way football is going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted June 16, 2011 To an extent I''d guess that it already happens. There were a couple of weeks last season where the top 6 all played each other, also Arsenal / Man Utd / Chelsea all seemed to play each other towards the end of the season - that''s not coincidence, that''s telly building a story out of the fixtures I reckon.

Or three local derby games on one day like this season I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow blood 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Don''t forget that ESPN will also stick their oar in this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerry Harrison 2 Posted June 16, 2011 At least ESPN''s games are on a Saturday (17.30 ko), which is about the least annoying of the TV kick off times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sjb 13 Posted June 16, 2011 Its about time the FA changed the rules and allowed saturday 3pm kick offs shown live on tv. I''ve cant really see why they have to change the times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I think the Saturday afternoon blackout should stay in order to protect attendances at lower league and non league matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
