Saturday at 3pm is the sacred time for football and that will never change, early saturday kick offs are the worst

I think Saturday is still sacrosanct to the majority of fans in the UK, and the disruption to kick-off times (both to Sunday and the horrible Monday evening) is cited as a major reason for declining attendances.

Personally, I prefer the late Saturday or Sunday afternoon game as I play myself so it is difficult to make the 3pm games.

Although, to me Sunday evening over here in the UK is NFL night!

I'm American, a (true) football convert of two years and I can honestly say I have the best of both worlds.

During summer when nothing but baseball is on, I have MLS action on Saturdays. The home games are an all day experience and the away games are times with the club where ever we can watch the match.

When the Premiership starts up in August, it falls in line with American's College Football season. On Saturdays I get the best EPL matches up until 2 EST, and have only missed 2 hours of the first batch of college football games.

Sunday is the same, the big Premiership match ends (11:00 am est) right when the NFL games begin. (I'm at the point now that I would prefer an EPL match over an NFL game, so by 1:00 pm EST, the tele is turned off).

I look forward to Saturday more than Sunday because of all the EPL matches available. thanks Fox Soccer and Setanta Sports.
