Yeah the kick-off times are a pisser. Everyone wishes we could go back to the 3pm Saturday ritual but we've quickly gotten used to it. Just as the German fans you mentioned had to get used to no longer being able to have a drink with the players. But anyway, if changes in schedule are all that's standing in the way of the Bundesliga remaining financially competitive then the fans simply need to get over it, but I don't think it is. Football is now a global business and I'm not convinced the globe is really that interested in German football, or even Bayern Munich. Sure, people like us are interested but the tv companies need more than us, and I just don't think there's that big a market for it outside of Germany itself.
It's easy to play the 'keep it local' card when that might actually be the only card you can play.
Meanwhile, I'm just hoping Lewandowski likes jellied eels
