StanSP 23,852 Posted 26 August Report Share Posted 26 August Not sure if it has any bearing on our/PL fixtures but Sky have released their first few fixtures for start of the season. They've got a Friday night game (Watford vs Boro) so may be there won't be a PL Friday night fixture? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no excuse for not allowing fans to see matches in some way. Yeah true, wasn't the whole point of the 3pm blackout to minimise any temptation for fans not to go to local matches on favour of premier league matches on tv? When fans cant go to any matches (above step 3?) it doesnt really make any sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I personally hope they keep the blackout in place if it means more people get out to watch non-league at the levels where coronavirus has put many clubs under threat. I'm definitely hoping to do a bit of groundhopping this season instead of spending my Saturdays on the settee watching City streams buffer at crucial moments. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UniFox21 6,839 Posted 26 August Report Share Posted 26 August So if Sky are doing this for the EFL, why the hell can't they sort something for the prem? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're not really that interested in the EFL so they're not paying much for it but it gives them extra subscribers and fill gaps in their schedules. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RutlanderFox 299 Posted 26 August Report Share Posted 26 August But I seem to recall at the end of last season season ticket holders at EFL clubs could watch the games on an EFL online streaming service rather than through Sky. This is something the PL could and should consider but it will never happen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully we'll be able to watch through LCFC tv or something.
