I know why the rule is in place, but I'd like to see it trialed to see if it did have a negative effect on attendances of lower league clubs. I think that most people who go to support clubs further down the pyramid would carry on, and they wouldn't choose sitting at home watching Everton v Burnley over watching the team they follow. Seems to me that there's just an assumption that attendances would be hit, I'd like to see if that was actually the case as it's pure speculation at the moment.
If we're away on a Saturday I'll go and watch my local non league side, I'd maybe think twice if we were on TV.
I'd be very wary that a trial would just end up being "that's it, done" and be rolled out immediately.
Yeah, once they sell those tv rights domestically and see the money, they won't put that horse back in the stable.
