If it clashes with Michael McIntyre's Big Show, me and Bensgrandad are OUT

How did that Holmsdale Fanatic get hold of a TV camera?

Well, this is the confirmation/detail. 8 Saturday night games among 200 in a season. Madness.

Old news, this was known when the details of the forthcoming TV rights was first released along with the likes of Facebook, Netflix may look to bid this time round.

Yes more football, but no doubt a higher cost for those wanting to watch at home

With only 8 Saturday night slots, I doubt we have too much to worry about. There's 30 all top 6 games a season to choose from before attention turns to anyone else.

But some of those are in the same round. And who is to say that Saturday night will be first pick?

Still, you've had a few weeks to think about this. ;-)

This is a deal that covers the 2019-22 seasons. If we're still in the Premier League, it's a problem I'll be happy to have.

They are doing their best to turn it into a tv fan's sport rather than a real event for stadium fans.
Do many families all want to watch the game? Speaking for myself, football is treated with contempt by the female half of the household . In order to enjoy it peacefully I have a separate small telly in my study and retire alone...

Teatime matches are a pain.. do I sacrifice a family meal or miss the game?
So, No. I don't like the idea... But the league will bow to the god of money and Sky/BT will do what the hell they like.

I like Saturday evening matches as it leaves the whole day to do other stuff and have a leisurely pre match pint/meal. It worked really well way at Birmingham and Newcastle last year when KO was 5.30 pm.
