Next Seasons Kick Off times

I don’t know if it was solely down to the pandemic but will next season continue with the same crazy KO times for some games? The tv scheduling of Four PL games a day for example between 12:30 and 8:15. 8:00pm KO on a Saturday night needs consigning to the bin for one as there’s no public transport in Burnley.

Fans are of little importance in the grand scheme of things because it's all about the telly!

If its back to normal then they wont have rights to broadcast all the EPL games live in the UK. The games they aren't broadcasting live in UK will go back to 3pm kick offs.

Back to normal is the plan which is good. Need more Saturday 3 o clock games.

Full return of fans is the main thing and a mass vaccination programme in East Lancashire to stamp out Covid 19 .

Majority of games should go back to normal hopefully but I am sure BT Sport have the 7:45 kick off slot on a Saturday for next season.

That's the really poor move to take away the Saturday lunchtime game - late return for away supporters, if they are allowed to go, from these games.

To be fair, after pressure and eventually, the TV companies and the PL have been supportive this season screening all the games without which we'd have missed a lot of Burnley games.

looks like the 12:30 on a Saturday is moving to 7:30 on Saturday night - the rest should go back to what we knew before the lockdown and certainly no 6pm midweek games and no football everyday, The best bit will be the return of multiple games kicking off at the same time particularly on Saturdays at 3 pm

It is shocking from the bus companies that they show such inflexibility that they cant put a few extra services on for late KO's etc

I thought they were only moving if the game involved a side in a European competition?
