No they're not, not any more. Briefly talked about it at committee level before Christmas apparently but decided against it, and signalled that decision to the powers that be over two weeks ago.Quote:

Some may say this clashes with FA Premier League but IMO people who want to sit in the pub or house watching these game rather than go support their local side have very little interest in going to LOI games
You'd be surprised the amount of people with an interest in both. It would be madness.
I don't have any kids but I know from speaking to parents that having all night time kick off dissuade them from bringing their kids to LOI game(as they often don't get back from these game untill after 10pm) meaning they only games they see when young are Foreign teams on TV and by the time parents deem they are old enough to go LOI games their allegiance's often already lie with foreign teams.Quote:
