6pm on a Wednesday, or any weekday, is insane.
Maybe that suits people in Indonesia or wherever they want the money to come from.
Wankers.

I kinda like the multiple kick off times as it means there are more games to watch.
As I can't attend home or away games and I am working from home, it suits me perfectly. I know it might not suit all but I like it during covid times. It will revert back when we eventually get back to large crowds in grounds

I can get home early enough. But I'm getting tired by late Sunday evening, after everyone else has played. That's just wrong.

Crazy kick off times alright.
Would love to be putting the feet up and watch the game tonight but with a 18:00 kick off I’ll be busy with dinner and then getting a 2 year old ready for bed. Could they not just stick to normal times, if it was 19:45/20:00 it’d have been ideal,

These odd times for PL matches is purely to maximise revenue for the broadcaster. And I rather suspect that even when fans are allowed back in stadiums that the staggered KO times will continue. Sky wants to maximise its revenue and match going fans are the poor relations.

I think that's the danger, that these times become normalised even when we are allowed back in the grounds.
