Premier League chiefs warned over moving kick-off times

PREMIER LEAGUE chiefs have been warned by the head of football’s watchdog body that attendances are being affected by the number of top-flight games being moved from the traditional Saturday 3pm kick-off.

Professor Derek Fraser, chairman of the Independent Football Commission, met Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore today and the apparent slump in attendances was discussed.

Fraser believes the fall is not simply due to high ticket prices.
