@SkyFootball @EFL Remember there are other clubs in league two apart from Bolton & Salford. Only one league two game to be shown live and you choose clubs that probably don’t need the money.

They remember them throughout the season but why would they put on a league 1 or 2 match that gets lower viewers than a championship match?

The Premier League has announced that all non-televised fixtures until the end of October will now be made available live on pay-per-view in the UK.
A league statement read: “The 20 clubs came to the interim decision after a meeting on Friday in order to “enable all fans to continue to watch their teams live”. Even Gary Neville is left raging with the decision.
“Under these new arrangements, the current live match selections will remain in place and will be broadcast as normal.
“In addition, the five matches per round not already selected will be made available to supporters on a pay-per-view basis, accessed via BT Sport Box Office and Sky Sports Box Office platforms.
“Clubs agreed this interim solution to enable all fans to continue to watch their teams live.
“The Premier League has worked closely with Sky Sports and BT Sport to provide this arrangement and is grateful for their support.
“The agreement will be regularly reviewed in consultation with clubs and in line with any decisions made by Government regarding the return of spectators to stadiums.
“Football is not the same without supporters at matches. The Premier League and our clubs remain committed to the safe return of fans as soon as possible.”
