[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 300686, member: 185281"] As far as I can see, the only reason why Saturday 3pm are not shown in the UK are: a) They [the FA] think people will stay at home and not go to lower league (Football League) games B) They [the Premier League] think people would rather pay for television then to actually go to the games. Well, for starters I think proper fans would still prefer to go to the games than watch them on TV, and if that weren't the case why then in Spain are La Liga games still able to have high attendences when all the games are broadcast live? And if its a thing of cost, surely you would spread the cost in of the service that is in a way comparable to going to the match.* Also, what is there to prevent the PL 3pm games from being moved to Sunday midday, so that people/fans can still go to see the lower league games & watch the PL games the next day? * I've posted somewhere before about what I'd do, I'll try and find it if I can! EDIT - found that old post... [b][i]Saturday:[/i] 12.45pm - Live Premiership game 3.00pm - Football League (Championship, League 1, League 2) and Conference games - NON LIVE 5.15pm - Live Premiership game [i]Sunday:[/i] 12pm/Midday - Premiership games - EVERY GAME LIVE, PremPlus '[COLOR="Red"]SuperLive[/COLOR]' 2pm - Live Premiership or Football League (Super Sunday) 4.30pm - Live Premiership game (Super Sunday) The '[COLOR="red"]SuperLive[/COLOR]' package could be purchased in three ways: One Game 'Gate' ticket - access to one game of your choice - £5.99 Club 'SuperSeason' ticket - access to all games, both home and away, to your favourite club shown on 'SuperLive' - £100 Premiership 'VIP Box' ticket - access to ALL GAMES on 'SuperLive' - £200 The '[COLOR="red"]SuperLive[/COLOR]' package would be SEPERATE from Sky Sports, like PremPlus is now, so if you team was on SS and you only had SL you couldn't watch it. You could also have 'blackouts' like they do in the US for games with low attendence, and clubs that are playing in the Champions League in the week before could have their SL games played on the Saturday night.[/b] [/QUOTE]
