I can see season ticket sales being hit in the EFL next season. For kids who play football on Saturday mornings this will be the 3rd fixture in March alone that they will miss.

Unfortunately I’ve decided not to renew our two season tickets.

I understand in the 2028/29 season they will allow 3pm kick offs to be broadcast. Why not bring this forward to next season. Who would object ?

This rule has stood since the 1960’s. The Burnley Chairman at the time argued to the Football League that televising top-tier matches would affect lower-league clubs attendances.
It’s an old crap rule that needs scrapping now not in 2028. It will have the reverse effect lowering attendances if we carry on with these daft kick off times.

That is my problem with these early kick offs. My daughter’s footie seems to be mainly 12:30 kick offs so that rules out anything earlier than 3pm home games for me.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

It’s not just the kids, it’s the coaches and parents who can’t get to these lunch time ko’s. I wish the club would take this to the EFL. Amendments can be pushed through. Scrap the 3pm TV blackout or pay for it in dropped attendances/revenue.

However the club doesn’t seem to be very good at listening to the fans recently.
