I wish they would instead of watching them over the net.

Has it got something to do with tradition? because it doesnt make sense surely each club would make more money by showing some of these games

In my opinion it's to make you actually go and watch them play. Although obviously i could be wrong here.

but surely they can only show one match or possibly two

and still u cant beat the atmosphere of a football ground



I would only watch on tv if i didnt live close enough or perhaps watching as a neutral

Durchii is correct. Its part of the TV rights that games aren't shown at 3pm on a Saturday. They were worried that showing games at 3pm would mean people would watch them and not go to lower league games.
