Silly old bat
What possible reason is there for him to support such a shitehousing Midlands club?

Although I’d be more concerned if attention seeking Harry professed love for the Albion. I think he’s probably a Gooner personally
Apparently a friend’s family took him to matches when he was younger, and he fell in love with the game.

The whole purpose of the 3pm blackout was to protect clubs further down the pyramid. Anyone who things that liverpool vs Man united live on tv at 3pm wouldn't have a profound impact on the crowds at Rochdale vs Stockport at the same time is deluded.
Why would Rochdale or Stockport fans opt to watch Man Utd and Liverpool over their own club?

He should support his family’s local club. Hannover.

I really fail to understand why people don’t get the argument that the blackout helps to protect attendance at smaller league and non-league clubs. We were one of those once.

The money men will love his comments. That said, I imagine these comments may have been carefully selected by the hack.

Exactly not sure what is so difficult to understand.
The question should be why are all games outside of Saturday 3pm not available to view.

It must truly bother the royal family that Harry gets to watch more Premier League matches than the ruling family of the country where the matches take place.
