End the 3pm blackout and they can watch every match live through their website, and United suddenly have themselves a new revenue stream.
I repeat - there is no evidence that the 3pm blackout has any effect on attendances, and with the improvements in technology since the 3pm blackout was introduced we are now in a position where clubs should see opportunities rather than problems if it were to be lifted.

That, sir, is a very valid point. That thought never entered my mind, I had it my head the only games that would made available would be PL games.
A good point, well made. I doth my proverbial cap to you, and leave this conversation with my tail firmly between my legs.
