Enough of the lower leagues fans would stay at home and that would have a massive effect on their finances. Not sure many of the better Championship clubs would see much difference.Originally Posted by WES
I was pretty shocked when I discovered that English football wasn't shown live here for the reasons you describe.
I was told at the time that the issue was not so much that Arsenal or Chelsea or Liverpool supporters wouldn't go watch their teams, but that the 1st, 2nd division and lower division's supporters wouldn't do so.
I'm not so sure
You can watch the highlights of every game within minutes anyway so it osn't really a big deal.
Would be interesting to compare Championship midweek attendances from last season as you can watch all those games live on the red buitton now
