CHARITY SHIELD LOSES OUT TO HOCKEY

UPDATED - Thursday, Jan 13

FAM Competitions Committee rejects the request from TV rights holder to move match from Saturday to Friday. So what will happen next?

...............................................

Now that the FAM have a new broadcaster, they seem to have gone into a problem right from the first day of the footballing season.

For the Charity Shield match scheduled for January 29, which is a Saturday, has now been brought forward to Friday, January 28, because the MHL matches on Saturday are scheduled to be telecast live.

And this problem of matches live on Saturday will carry on right till mid March when the MHL ends. Wonder how the football fans react to this..
