Prince William expressed his frustration with the longstanding 3 p.m. blackout rule in English football during an interview. The rule, which prohibits the broadcasting of live matches at 3 p.m. on Saturdays, was introduced to protect attendance at lower-league games. He noted that while it can be difficult to attend games at Villa Park, watching them on TV is also challenging due to this restriction. He pointed out the irony that fans can watch matches abroad, which highlights the need for a review of this outdated rule, especially for devoted fans.
The biggest thing at home is trying to find it on TV sometimes because obviously you've got the Saturday 3 p.m blackout which is irritating.
It's really annoying that we still can't watch our own team's Premier League match in this country but you can go abroad and watch any game any time.
