Personally, I've never been very good with computers and while I have attempted to use vpn's in the past for other, work related things, I've never found it easy to do.
I'm also too much of a goody two shoes to say I'm happy to find a work around. My point is that the 3pm blackout law is out of date having been created in the 1960's and should be rescinded.
There is no evidence that attendances would be affected negatively.
The biggest example is how it works in America for the NFL. Clubs (or franchises if you prefer) stream their own matches for a fee whilst also selling out their ridiculously large stadiums. Plus, their ticket prices are at least 3 times as much as we pay at Sixfields.
There are also examples in other entertainment sectors.
The rise of Netflix hasn't stopped people going to the cinema and Spotify hasn't stopped people from going to live music gigs.
As we have talked about so many times over the last 18 months, going to the football is about a lot more than just watching the game. It is an experience that can't be replicated through the tv screen.
I can understand the concerns people have about games in the middle of December against Stevenage on a Tuesday evening but I look at it another way. The clubs would be forced to think about their offering and up their game in order to attract fans. Again, this is something that has been talked about recently and has seemingly failed to get off the ground.
I appreciate that I am incredibly biased on this subject, being exiled as I am but I know it wouldn't affect my decision to attend the games that I can go to. If anything, it would allow the club to make more money out of my support than they have done for the last 15 years.
I think at elite level, Premier League, the attendance wouldn’t be affected but at L2 it would, for a start it’s £10 cheaper, you can watch from the comfort of your own home and what’s even worse for the club is you can invite your mates around all this with no parking cost etc.
Why don’t you lobby the EFL, they will give you the hypothesis and data behind the decision not to do it.
