Damned if they show it, damned if they don't.
Personally, if I get a ticket then a midweek clash under the lights beats a Monday afternoon for me.

It means more than 300 (or whatever the allocation is) get to see it. And it will take some of the edge off the atmosphere - smaller crowd, less drinking before the game. Works quite nicely for us in some respects. |

Well it looks like FIFA are saying 2022 WC in Qatar has to be played in Nov/Dec. ....I suppose it will just mean that there'll be a mid season break of a month or so and the season will kick off perhaps a couple of weeks earlier and finish a couple of weeks later.
I'd like to think we could still play Div 3/4....some teams will lose a few players, but we managed without 2 for a month in Jan, so should carry on as usual.

FIFA will insist that all football will have to be suspended during the WC so not to affect TV audiences. |

This will give the Premier League clubs the excuse they have been waiting for to press again for a mid season break every year.

Even with the general awfulness of FIFA, it's worth taking time to reflect that the next two world cups are taking place in a country which is currently invading a neighbour and threatening anyone else it feels like, and a country which is literally using slaves to build its stadia, leading to the death of thousands of human beings.
Mind boggling that this isn't losing them corporate support hand over fist. I get corruption, I really do, but I figured there might come a point where even Sepp went "You know what, I don't want to have to explain this one at the Pearly Gates, we'll give it to Australia".
And yet, the biggest outcry is likely to come from having to rearrange some domestic games. Annoying yes, but rather insignificant compared to literally killing people.

Well said Nemo. "FIFA - making the Premier League look acceptable by comparison since 1992"

Did FIFA ever publish that (censored) corruption report?

Sky Sports wins rights to broadcast Major League Soccer
Would rather they spent more money on lower league games than US shit with overpaid footballers on a last big payday.

So when the Qatar WC is on will there be no Football League games as well as no PL games?
