Most of them would remain on Saturdays so the EFL would need to drop the blackout. That would mean a huge change in how English football is shown on TV. Unlike most European countries, not every match in the Premier League is made available to be watched by domestic viewers and no games can be screened on Saturday afternoons.

I think the massive strength of lower tier football in England owes at least something to the 3pm Saturday blackout, it's a big risk to drop it, because once it's gone it won't be coming back.

I’m not so sure it would make a massive difference to crowds at our level, and probably not even at championship level. Everyone has become accustomed to football on the TV. I’d argue those that would choose to watch on the TV probably wouldn’t bottom themselves to go anyway… 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza
