3pms or TV

No fans at games looks like extending well into the season. Since lockdown this has been compensated by all PL games being shown live on Sky, BT, Amazon and BBC, all at unique times.

So, the question is easy:
Do you prefer this spread or would you prefer to have a group of games at 3pm on a Saturday?


For me, because I work shifts including weekends, it is nice to have the spread - for instance I was 6am-6pm Thursday-Sunday last week so it was nice coming home to watch games in the evenings and 2 yesterday. The 3pm blackout lift means no watching Soccer Saturday so the lack of 3pms is lessened, although the acca is a bit harder.

Spread while no fans

I lose interest when it's spread around.

If you know when the bulk of games are on and you're interested then most people will be sure to keep an eye out on those.

If it's basically a game all afternoon both weekend days then it becomes a bit impossible to stay in touch.

There defintely is something nice about having a bunch of games on at the same time and then listening to sports report on the radio after, maybe it's more nostalgia and caring more when I was younger.

I guess the current format gives fans choice, I don't think I'm gonna be watching game after game each week but at least some can if they want to. The games defintely don't feel quite the same without fans though, I haven't really got into the season so far.

I prefer the spread. There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to pay to watch all of our domestic games. I wholly disagree that they should be free to air, because the clubs need to make £. However, only a few thousand people at a time can hold a season ticket for a club, so the rest shouldn't be penalised or excluded if we're otherwise willing to pay for football on TV.

Season ticket holders and club members should be able to watch games for free/ discounted prices. Think they have that in Scotland.

I'm old school. I like watching the goal shows like final score or soccer saturday. I lose interest in the games that have nothing really riding on them when they're spread out.

Tbh if you are a unattached person I'm sure it fills your time.

OAP or a Singleton would like it.

If you've any commitments it's completely OTT.

I remember world cup 1998 with 3 games a daybthat summer and i watched it all on whatever it was bbc or itv, but once it was over i was so sick of it i swore never again.

We have to see thst the 12 noon all this for Asia and 8pm suits USA markets.

It doesn't suit many here
