Rejected petition Televise all Premier League games including 3pm kick offs.
Rejected on
I would like them to ensure all premier league games are televised with in the UK including 3pm Kick Offs.
The reason for this is due to two reasons. 1. The current cost of living crisis is affecting fans being able to afford tickets and travel to games. 2. The amount of pollution being created each weekend due to some fans having no option but to attend the game in order to watch their team play. We as a country are pushing for a greener future and this set would be on in the right direction.
