I thought 3.30 would have been included in a blackout tbh ..
im glad it’s on anyway 😀 however they did it
Last year, fan behaviour changed and fans got used to being able to see every game,” Travis said. “Most of our fans don’t live close to Leyton.
“Fans expect to be able to see games and we personally do not believe it impacts attendance. Last week, because it was an international break and there was no 3pm blackout, we showed the Orient vs Newport County game on our streaming services.
“The money we got from ticket sales which is 5 per cent of the tickets you sold, we made 30x that amount on streaming.”
The danger of a “big six” club clashing with lower-league football is mitigated to some extent by the number of other TV slots available. Matches featuring Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are regularly moved to the 12.30pm and 5.30pm kick-offs on a Saturday or 2pm and 4.30pm on Sundays, or to the Monday night fixture.
There would be significant opposition to lifting the 3pm ban on coverage, though it would take time to measure the true effect – if any – on attendances and fan’s customs. Travis, nonetheless, believes many within football are “living in the past”.
“The world has changed – the world has become digital,” he added. “And our attendances have continued to go up over time, despite our streaming services. I think this year we will end up selling more season tickets than we’ve ever sold in our history.”

Fair enough if times have changed. It was there for a reason that I agree with. But if it wouldn't impact on lower league clubs then fair enough.
I mean I've got a mate who used to be an lfc season ticket holder who goes to marine every week now, simply because he gets to have six pints and talk to his mates. He's not arsed about the actual footy. And you've got Oncy (God rest his soul) who goes and watches the utter shit near him even if it clashes with one of our games. So yeah, maybe.

I am personally not sure, but maybe it should be looked at again to make sure, I believe it’s been happening since the 1960s and I guess times have changed…and if it’s not achieving what it set out to do originally
ik I just fucken hate when I can’t watch a 3pm game haha ..maybe I’d feel less mad about it if it truly does help ..I’m not sure it does anymore
edit RIP Oncy !

Anyone can watch 3pm games on streams. I don't think many people on here have missed one in years, and I think that's what the dude in your post was on about.
Yeh it’s true …I just don’t have much luck with themha
I missed the last one. Hesgoal no longer do premier league games.
They buffer like hell for me ..
edit ; usually just as a freakin’ goal is being scored !
