From 2012 an extra game has to be squeezed in somewhere, and clearly, it makes commercial sense to squeeze it in where the broadcasters want it (to maximise TV revenue).

Personally I agree with those commentators who prefer NOT to see game being played beyond Sunday, there’s comfort in knowing where things stand as at the very end of the weekend, and we can look forward.

This means looking at the twilight option, and even throwing in the odd Thursday night game.
