EFL considering moving all kick offs to 1pm or earlier.

There’s an argument that 1pm is a better time for a Saturday kickoff

Got to be honest, 3pm on a Saturday is my second least favourite kick off time (after a midweek 19:45).

Love a Friday night, but if it's a Saturday game I prefer the early or later starts. Early KO means you've still got time to do something else with the rest of the day, later time means that you can do stuff beforehand or have a proper all dayer.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

The UK economy is about to take an absolute battering. It's not just your energy costs, but the energy costs of all your suppliers, customers and distribution.

Natural gas prices were higher between 2000 and 2009. I am not sure what the current stress is about. Perhaps someone can explain.

Look at the 25 year graph. I do not recall the complaints and demand for government support then. It could be our old friend Brexit. The £ was $1.66 in early 2016. Now $1.15 or so.

Prices are set based on what energy companies think costs will be in the future, not what they are at the time. Global uncertainty leads to prices being set higher, as they need a wider margin to be sure of turning a profit 6/12/18 months down the line. Governments being unwilling to set reasonable caps on monopolies (we may get to choose which middleman to pay but they all buy from the same providers in any given area) means they can charge whatever they like and rake in record profits when prices go down and feel justified in doing so.

The other factor is that the energy companies are having to recoup "losses" in countries where governments have imposed strict limits on their price rises. France owns EDF and so will opt to charge its people less, and everyone else more to balance it out. Turns out nationalisation has its uses, who would have imagined.

Perhaps more rigorous regulation rather than Nationalisation is the answer. I hold shares in Centrica (British Gas) and they have been poor performers for a decade. They have not made profits and paid no dividends.

Capitalism doesn’t do rigorous regulation.
As soon as profits or political influence is reduced the industries change the rules … water, fracking, media etc.
Nationalised or not for profit would allow greater control for the benefit of the country rather than shareholders. The lack of competition argument is a nonsense.
I suggested clubs would have to insist of daytime kick offs some weeks ago.
Clubs, already struggling or in debt will not cope. Nor will our public services such as hospitwlsmand schools.
