Allow coverage of a restricted amount of live EFL football games at 3:00.
Stopping 12:30 live broadcast of games will allow normal social interaction of friends and family that is not possible with the 12:30 start. 3:00 matchday income could make or break small businesses, pubs, cafes who are already decimated by business rates, NI increases.
Scrap the historic no live football at 3pm for the EFL. Show what are now the 12:30 kickoffs live at 3pm.
This would have no detrimental effect on the televised clubs or non televised clubs and would benefit small local businesses and allow the match day experience to be better for match attendees.
