The new Premier League TV rights agreement will see a 25% increase in the number of live matches broadcast.

A new kick-off time of 6.30pm on a Sunday will also be introduced.

They'll probably charge fans a lot more just to watch as well (whether the extra match is broadcast by an existing broadcaster, or someone new comes into the mix asking for a subscription).

And the extra match will be like Burnley v Luton, that very few really want to watch anyway.

I'd rather they had their 3-4 feature weekend games, and then other games that could be bought on a game by game basis, say for £2-3. Not too pricy, and tempting for people to buy even if not fans of the clubs involved, if they've nothing better to do at the time.

I know we generally don't like change but I'm not a fan of that slot. We already have 2pm, 4pm on a Sunday, that is enough.

A better move, imo, would be more occasions like when Amazon have games. All games available to watch, choose your match.

And, given the website we are on, I'm sure a few of us would like to tune into the PGAT golf at that time.

Unfortunately I suspect viewers in the Uk will the lowest priority when the overseas rights are huge so the more games they can show abroad to the US , Middle East , China and Australia the more they can sell the rights for
