So this is it, the next level of tv football outside the greedy league.
Not good for regular fans that go home and away.
Helps clubs with lower income I suppose.
What's people's thoughts about it on here

Some of the new kick off times are a bit shite, particularly for aways.

They've not been absolutely horrendous yet based on the announced ones but no doubt at some point it'll be Exeter away at 19:45 on a Saturday night or something daft.

It's affected us already with most local away day's affected by time's and day's,blackpool apart,and way the things are going in the country,it's not guaranteed yet that game will go ahead with such a large away following and blackpool has had a bit of trouble,but more so Preston,anything planned there the weekend we go blackpool,I can't see Lancashire police coping with us and trouble in Preston

Who does it benefit ? Clubs get the same amount as I understand so it doesn’t give one club a competitive advantage. The kick off times are a major problem for many fans . Lunch time kick offs and evening kick offs mean people with work commitments or kids football miss out. Bin sky off I say.

The problem with people saying bin sky is,when county are on away especially if it's not local,most will watch it on sky,it's only going to effect the regular home fan's,even more so regular away fan's.

With changed kick off times the first home game I can get to is Reading on September 7.Will Sky refund part of my Season Ticket cost?

I would be happy not to watch the occasional away game on tv for guaranteed 3pm kick off times.

Or Sky/EFL get rid of the 3pm blackout.

If you find a way to take a 90 minute trip overseas, you never need to miss watching an away game on TV anyway.

I'm not a fan with the messing about of kick off times. A home game for me is a 5-6 hour round trip traffic allowing. So couple that with a 5:45-7:45 kick off it makes even home games more of a pain. I appreciate that I'm probably a minority but it shows that the live supporter is less important to revenue streams.
On the upside it shows that Sky have realised that there is money to be made outside the Prem due to increasing interest( I believe that League One was the 9th best attended league in Europe last year)which gives a guaranteed revenue stream and anything that helps County plan can't be a totally bad thing

I thought this game was on Sky Sports + channel 412, but shows Wrexham v Wycombe only. I am assuming access will be via the Red Button? Will you be able to record it?

Channel 508 then press red button,if it's like the championship games last season you won't be able to record them.
Last season it had no replays of any action and you can't pause it also,don't know if it's different this season
