Still no word on the weekend of the United game yet.

Clubs in talks for fan match access

Premier League clubs consider alternative ways of letting season ticket holders access matches not due to be broadcast live on television.

www.bbc.co.uk

If only someone would have thought of this before ?

I thought this was an idea before, but the hopes to getting some fans back in put the idea on hold. Now that fans returning has been put on hold it has been brought back as an idea.

Interesting that they’ve only announced the usual TV slots for the rest of October. May indicate that clubs / EPL will make an announcement about season ticket access to streams or similar plans during the international break.

Do we know what is planned for October? I am loving the staggered timings and the football - i mean not much better than a sunday night entertaining show where liverscum get battered 7 2

Nothing announced yet. Think I heard earlier that the EPL is lobbying the government to allow some fans into stadiums so I don’t expect any announcement on broadcasts until that’s been dismissed completely.

Personally I’m not expecting the broadcast of all games to continue much longer (if at all).

Yeah EPL put out an open letter to government but no mention of TV

Clubs miss out on cash lifeline as Prem rejects live-stream proposal

EXCLUSIVE: Sportsmail has learned the Premier League will not bow to pressure to set up their own version of the EFL's iFollow system. It is a significant financial blow to top flight teams.

The longer this goes on, the more people they're pushing to illegal streams.

That indicates we’ll continue to have all games televised for a bit longer though, which I’m not complaining about as I subscribe to everything except Premier Sports and Disney+! Still not a fan of some of the staggered kick off times, mind...
