My apologies if I should have added this to an existing thread.
It appears that Sky are showing all of the EFL League 2 games live this Saturday at 3.00pm, so the decision that The Championship are all 12.30 on Saturday is an agreement between the EFL & Sky, rather than the historic ban. My question is whether the embargo is still in place, or if it only applies to Premier League games?
I doubt that showing these matches will have any effect on attendances outside the EFL, but I'm fairly sure that Championship games wouldn't either. |  | | |  |

They've applied for, and received, special dispensation to do it. Think the same thing happened last day of last season. |  | | |

Cheers Clive.
I think you're right about the last day of last season & they definitely showed a play off semi final at 3.00pm on a Saturday. | | | |

They showed Colchester v somebody at 3pm on the last Saturday of the season to my recollection. | | | |

Does anyone know if the 3pm ban was permanently revoked, would that mean Sky would move fewer games from 3pm? Or do they just like the 1230 and bizarre kick off times?
I see we are not really near a sell out for Saturday. I am sure holidays have a lot to do with it but also I bet the 1230 has an impact too. |  | | |

Apparently when your watching a game on your 950 inch flat screen smart televisual thingamabob from the comfort of your electric reclining sofa you can now hold the red and green button together on your Sky remote at the same time and the referee will turn into an insane gibbon and the linesmen/lineswoman will turn into extremely naughty chimps for 12 seconds. |  |

Looking at the fixtures, we have a 3pm Saturday game against Leeds before Christmas. How is that possible? |  | | |

As long as the EFL and Premier League let them dictate when the games are played they will continue to move them to times that suit them
The whole thing lays with the authorities. Some of the biggest club games in the world are in the champions league but Sky or BT etc can't say can you put Real Madrid v Bayern Munich on a Friday at 8pm, UEFA tell them this is when the game kicks off whether you like it or not. The Premier League or EFL could do the same but don't want to so whether that 3pm ban goes or not nothing will change |  | | |
