    Earlier kick it's for matches with shorter travelling seems feasible. But for the longer distances then no.

    It's still being capped a lot higher than it was a year ago.

    Against my better judgement I actuallyfollowed the link and read that article in the Daily Heil

    The floodlights stuff isnt the story - its only that 14 EFL clubs said they would consider it

    The bigger story is the plans to further kill off revenue streams for smaller clubs by scrapping FA cup replays, PL sides wanting to field U21 sides in the league cup and the fact the independent regulator may not happen now Truss is in charge - all of which is bad for any fans of clubs outside the premiership

    What about us poor Californian Reds who already get up at 6:30 on a Saturday, never mind the time we need to stir for midday games due to SYP pressure. ;)

    No such thing as a cap on how much is paid.

    You are quite right, it’s not a cap but a discount based on a government supported price of £211 per megawatt hour for electricity.

    What this does do is reduce the marginal increase in the cost of running floodlights and hence reduce the expected saving of moving kick off times.

    It's reduces the cost from the huge predicted increase it has still shot up massively from where it was. I don't know the cost of having floodlights on but I imagine for some vlubs it may be a saving worth exploring.

    Back in the early 70s during the winter of discontent and the 3 day week no floodlit football was on.
    Midweek games played 1pm to crowds of only a few hundred.
    We could be going back to those awful days.

    Really? Which depending on the club/level and financial situation could make it worth exploring.
