Except the lower leagues who believe they will lose attendance as everyone stays at home or in the pubs watching the 3pm Premier League matches. Hence moving some of these games to Sunday night. The Premier League certainly buys into this arguement and they're not normally a body to turn away money!

I wonder if it will see the end of the 33 3pm games which Setanta televises for Ireland? Could these be the games moved to Sunday to discourage UK pubs screening them?
