Interesting thread. Some passionate and very well considered views - football fans are a bright bunch and should get way more respect from "the powers that be" who generally treat us like sheep or naughty schoolchildren, depending on the circumstances.
But it's all relative... seven years ago I had the same view as many who have expressed an opinion here. But then I moved 5000 miles away, so now I'm DELIGHTED when games are televised.
I suppose that makes me selfish, but the bottom line is, whoever you are and wherever you live, you're only going to be happy with the timing of games when it's convenient to you, and upset when it isn't. If every game went ahead, untelevised, at 3pm on a Saturday, I'd never get to see my team play any more. I'd be gutted! :icon_sad:
So, I'm ashamed to say, in my current situation... sod everyone else, I'm well happy with the switch. :icon_cool
