The Straight Shootin' View Episode 112 - Should the EFL ditch the 3pm TV blackout?

At a time where cost of living and ticket prices are rising, should the EFL let clubs scrap the 3pm TV blackout? Would it be financially viable or would it destroy the lower leagues? On this episode of The Straight Shootin' View our co-host SSLJA talks about speculation that the EFL was going to include scrapping the 3pm blackout agreement to not broadcast matches at 3pm on Saturdays in their 2022 AGM SSLJA discusses the financial viability of dropping the 3pm blackout, the fans it could pull in, if match day attendance would be affected and how it could affect the lower leagues if the EFL scrapped the blackout that some feel is archaic. SSLJA also looks at clubs using Ifollow and other methods of enhancing the matchday experience, especially for those that can't attend matches, for example for mental health reasons such as anxiety or physical health reasons such as illness.
