Mourning breaks over Sunday KOS

SUNDAY morning football remains a staple of our society … but not for the professionals.

For kids, for boys and girls, for grown-up plodders, it is still part of the fabric of a football-lover’s life.

In the modern era, you can then go home and watch a match on the TV, assuming you can afford the subscription fees.

In the not-too-distant future, you might miss one or two games because your beloved Liverpool, Manchester United, or whoever, might be playing when you are.

A suggestion to stage matches at 11.30am on a Sunday will apparently be discussed when the next round of TV deals comes up for grabs.

That kick-off time would be ideal for the Asian market … and absolutely lousy for fans wanting to travel to games, not to mention those who would normally be playing themselves.

But as their interests are seldom taken into account, we can probably look forward to United versus Liverpool before the church bells have stopped ringing.
