Its simple economics for me - there are 5 scheduled Sunday home games, 4 of which are on weekends where TV hasn't been decided.
So, probably 2-3 of those will be moved to Thursday or Friday.
No point getting a season ticket. Clubs need to understand that if they don't start to move away from Sky holding all the money and power, dictating everything... they will suffer long term.
Maybe we should go down to the championship and we can play every Sunday.
Half of the Premiership football clubs don't need any fans through the gates to function.
Soccer is the largest sport in the world- top clubs can play important fixtures on tuesday and thursday nights and still pack a stadium.
American football is the same - Thursday night and monday night games, but they can afford to do it.
European Rugby League cannot. Unless more revenue streams are found then Super League will continue to lag behind the likes of the NRL.
