Sunday Night Fever: Not the Disco We Wanted…
Ah, the Premier League, where fans’ wishes come a distant second to the TV gods! Manchester United are off to Leicester City this weekend for a 7pm Sunday night showdown – the second time in just over a month. Forget about relaxing Sundays; it’s stress and squints for the fans trying to catch the last bus home!
Now, you’d think the Premier League planned it for the adrenaline rush of a thriller under the stars, but no! United fans are not thrilled about this night-time extravaganza. After all, public transport prefers to tuck in early with a cup of cocoa, leaving fans stranded and wondering how to make it to Monday’s 9am without looking like zombies.
And hold on to your wallets, folks! As if kick-off times weren’t enough, ticket prices are higher than a Ronaldo free kick. The FSA has bravely launched the “Stop Exploiting Loyalty” campaign. Their goal? To make sure fans aren’t priced out and to convince clubs that, maybe, just maybe, putting fans first over TV could be a novel idea.
