YESTERDAY I saw Sky had announced that all midweek Championship matches will be streamed from 2019.

And it now seems inevitable that it will soon be a move copied by the Premier League.

As a football lover, who does enjoy watching televised games, you would have thought I would be in favour.

For example there could be more opportunities to see the team I support, Birmingham City, in the years to come.

But in reality we should all be concerned about this, particularly the impact on non-league football.

At what point do televised matches really begin to hit lower and non-league attendances?

Bromsgrove Sporting, my local side, have actually seen crowds increase in recent times - but this has been due to cup runs and promotions and not every non-league side enjoys that forever.

Worcester City is an example of a team that have gone through troubled times, crazily still playing ‘home’ games only a mile away from where I live in Bromsgrove.

Today, the Worcester News is reporting on the latest bid to ‘bring City home’ but if the plan comes to fruition by the target date of 2019, will there even still be the appetite for non-league football?

The rise of the armchair fan, unwilling to pay extortionate Premier League and Championship prices sometimes more than £40, is an ideal target for non-league clubs.

But with each new Premier League and Football League television and online deal, it becomes more difficult for clubs like Worcester City, Kidderminster Harriers and Bromsgrove Sporting.

There is another thing to consider with this TV deal - at what point do we reach saturation point?

If you wanted, you are now able to watch a football match every day of the week.

All this was predicted decades ago of course.

When television first became involved with football, the football league chairman - fearing attendance would be hit on Saturday afternoons - pushed through the 3pm blackout rule that still applies today.

But how long will it be before even that sacrosanct rule is scrapped.

That will be a real disaster for lower league football and could lead to my biggest fear - these community clubs going out of business.
