Apologies if there is already a thread on this, but cannot really understand the logic anymore behind the 3pm Saturday tv blackout. The proposed new deal will see more games played at Midnight on a Sunday (I know a slight exaggeration), to protect the 3pm on a Saturday (which are a lot easier for fans to attend), just so the number of games televised can be increased. Almost as bonkers as the Sunday shopping laws, where people in Scotland can go to the supermarket on a Sunday evening, whilst those of us in England have to go to Co-Op.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
The PL are just trying to maximise potential revenue. Which means there will be at least 1 extra subscription for the completists among us. Even for those who aren’t will want to watch Spurs when they get picked for one of the new time slots.
In other news I see FACT / Sky have managed to get 47 IPTV services shut down over the last few days.
Fucking stupid kick off times.
Especially with the 5 minutes added time in the first half and 15 mins in the second half.
As I have said previously, if I wasn't Spurs I would never watch the Premier League.

I see the merits of protecting the non league football pyramid at 3PM on Sat.
