Premier League to sell more matches in next auction?
Suggesting moving some fixtures from 3pm to Sunday evening. Premier League has traditionally increased the games shown each year - last year these rose to 154 from 138 but that still leaves 226 live matches per season untelevised in the UK.
"BT Sport, who have taken the Champions League from Sky, will want at least three packages out of the current seven, and Sky cannot afford to lose any Premier League football." BT is said to be keen on the idea.

agreed den. i think the easiest thing would be allowing a televised game at 3pm. i think its been shown that regardless of football being on tv or the extremely high prices of tickets that people are still attending games. So why not have one game at 3pm? give that to BT sport so they have 2 games on saturday and sky 2 on sundays and 1 on football. everyone happy.

Bad idea if true.
Scottish football try that way back in 1998 with they deal at the time with Sky Sports.
It was fine 90% of the time.
But when Sky broadcast an game with Celtic VS Rangers in May 1999 - When Rangers won the SPL at Celtic Park. World War 3 started.

Except the lower leagues who believe they will lose attendance as everyone stays at home or in the pubs watching the 3pm Premier League matches. Hence moving some of these games to Sunday night. The Premier League certainly buys into this arguement and they're not normally a body to turn away money!

I wonder if it will see the end of the 33 3pm games which Setanta televises for Ireland? Could these be the games moved to Sunday to discourage UK pubs screening them?

i dont know about that den. EPL is a disgrace admittedly compared to other leagues like bundesliga and la liga but the lower leagues in england are even worse for charging too much for their leagues!

That's a long time ago and between two unique teams. I hope nothing like that occurs again in Scotland or England again. Rangers losing points and going into a lower league after falling into administration has helped separate those two teams for some time to come.

I'd normally agree, lol, but if they were 100% greedy you think they would televise the 3pm matches and forget the lower leagues.

Re: ESPN, BT, Euro, Premier and Sky Sports news
the lower leagues are over charging. newcastle united charge less for a ticket than about 6 clubs in league 2 which is astonishing.
the simple fact is these lower league sides cannot sustain any viable crowds as they have little to no support. So they overcharge their fans to try and keep afloat. its a disgrace really. 20 quid for league 2 football? You can go to hertha berlin in bundesliga and see top quality football in a breathtaking stadia for more than half that.
Thats why id have loved the B team football idea to go ahead. Newcastle B playing at a local stadium for ten quid in league 2 would get bigger attendances at a cheaper price than accrington stanley. in a perfect world these historic clubs would sustain themselves.
But as a country we're very stuck in the past. the whole "but this club has always existed for the last 100 years. they must always exist even if they're losing money!!"
in germany and spain theyre more ruthless. "It doesnt work. lets change it". thats why the UK will continue to lag behind.

The B league was dead in the water from day one. The supporters were against it and the lower league were against it.

It cost us £24 per ticket when l went to Torquay with my three brothers to support Portsmouth last season and to add insult to injury they searched us all then stamped us on the hand.
