How are they getting around the 3pm blackout on the opening day? Are all matches to be 12 or 5pm kick offs?
Same rules applies as for International Weekends - taking advantage of no PL to get around it so imagine most will stay at 3pm.
Sounds like every midweek, Bank Hol and opening fixtures will be on tv so hopefully that is the bulk of the disruption out of the way.
I think they will announce TV fixtures all the way up until Xmas in one go too so atleast we will know which games are being moved. Impact for us won't be massive I don't think - they will prio League 1 (Birmingham, Huddersfield, Wrexham) over League 2 no doubt so unless we are doing well I don't think we will be on anymore than we were in the NL at funny times. Only issue is the slots range from a Friday night, Sat lunch, Sat night, Sun lunch, Sun night to Mon night so could be on at anytime when we are on.
