Never to the dark side Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I would like to see games with staggered kick off times, until we are allowed back in the stadiums. Be nice to watch football match's all day long on saturdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midred Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 I imagine that they'll kick off what ever time sky , bt, etc tell them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-hugh-blind Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Pain in the arse, at 7:45, kids are in bed and I can crack open a cold one and assume the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Get the impression that there will be less % of games televised this season- ie a reversion to a more normal offering, how that impacts kickoff times I'm unsure- only time will tell.

marmite Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Past caring. Sorry but City saga is waning interest in next season fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winsaw Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Looks like the league is asking clubs still to not stay overnight after a game so would guess that will mean plenty of 5pm midweek games until the fans are back, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Thanks- that'd make sense, can't say I'd heard that but 5pm, 6pm kickoffs in midweek certainly sound plausible in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But guessing ever game is still streamed live next season then they will need to stagger some to spread demand on the streaming site like they had to this season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought the streaming option again a must until fans can return in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted August 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 winsaw: Don't think the team stay overnight after the gamethey stay overnight prior to the game I could say that short trips during the week up to approx 120 miles don't need an overnight stay?

Erithacus Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Naturally, if there are no fans to accommodate the kick-off times are up for offer - so who is doing the bidding? It may be feasible for the top teams but how will the lower leaguers be able to play if there are no fans allowed? Many clubs were aghast to play on after the stoppage without cash coming in at the turnstiles, so will there be a payment for them in the new season? Are the broadcasters going to provide some income for them even if they don't feature? Will streaming services be the way forwards? This is becoming a new horizon for football.

maxjak Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 i sincerely hope they bin the drinks breaks.....turning the game into four quarters is for the stupid USA pigskin game, and not for football in this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Think the drinks break was basically due to games in the summer and quite a lot of them in just over a month. Wouldn't expect it during the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be moderate rebates to the broadcasters at EFL level last I read, really quite moderate- couple of sources say £7m in total. PL I believe is scheduled to be £330m, a good chunk to Sky- but this part, perhaps the UK part of the rebate is deferred until 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the PL I remember significant talk of it early in the crisis/lockdown. Offset Sky's losses or help to offset them according to one report. Possibly contractual reasons part of it too. https://media.sportbusiness.com/news/premier-league-and-sky-agree-deferral-of-170m-rights-rebate/ https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/premier-league-sky-sports-broadcast-rights-rebate-settlement-coronavirus Is a good question though, can't remember in full. Think quite a few little things adding up- no crowds reducing the experience from a televisual POV one factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
