Also being forced to sit rather than stand is a factor putting many off IMO.
However I agree with the ban on 3pm ko live broadcasts - plenty of football on to watch without risking attendance figures dwindling.
The interesting thing is you can show a live game in the evening and stream / red button other games as you wish.
