The FA Laws have this regulation for a reason. To see a football match between 2:45pm and 5:15pm, go to one of them! Live! It is much more fun and entertaining the TV, with 91[1] clubs in the football league and many more football matches in non-League. It is easy and cheap to see a live football match. It not all about the Premiership.

Without supporting the lower league clubs, the top teams, do do have the talent coming through. It is easy to see the next top-player out on loan for less than £15 per match. There are many, many, in League one or two (Div 3&4) in old money or non-league within short distance - heck even walking distance from most placing the country.

This is a good regulation that protects the game. Don't let Sky/Murddock dictate what football is or is not.

I genuinely wonder if you're not being paid to write this comment
I am not being paid. Also it was good planning of me to set-up my account 908 days ago.

I just have a passion for protecting parts of football by regulation. Not every sport is about TV rights.
