There is a “strong case” for the Premier League and its broadcast partners to revert to the Project Restart model for televising matches, according to the leader of a major fans’ group. All 92 matches played to complete the 2019-20 season were televised, with 33 of them made available free to air. The FSA vice-chair has urged broadcasters to think carefully about their customers in regard to screening Premier League gamesTom Greatrex, the vice-chair of the Football Supporters’ Association, feels in the circumstances that might be the best approach. Sources at one Premier League club said they supported the pay-per-view model as a means to generate revenue, but would back a reduction in price to £10 per match. Greatrex said the Premier League had “given an undertaking” that the FSA’s position on pay-per-view matches would be put to the clubs, following meetings between supporters’ representatives and the league on Tuesday.
