If there is one thing that is likely to make a football fan's blood boil more than anything else, it is the simple and hateful action of being taken for granted.

Though, of course, we have all become used to this in almost every aspect of our football lives: the club, the players, the referees and the FA have all been guilty of putting their own egos before the well being of the paying public.

But this year the "powers-that-be" have taken just one step too far. They have made a decision that is to the acute inconvenience of every football match goer in the country outside of the Premiership. A decision that involved no consultation with any supporters and is to the advantage of just two groups of people: those that make bucket loads of easy cash from the football/television merry-go-round, and the fat lardy-arsed gets who get no closer to a genuine football match than the remote control on their armchair.

This year football fans will be expected to attend matches on Sunday evenings when their team is chosen to feature on subscription television. 6:15pm is the appointed hour when we will be told we can watch our teams perform for the armchair army.

This, quite simply, is completely unacceptable.

It's unacceptable to those who travel long distances to see their teams play in every corner of the country.

It's unacceptable to the legions of families who feel that Sunday nights are for relaxing at home before the beginning of another working week.

It's unacceptable to expect us to put ourselves out for the benefit of those who cannot be bothered to attend the game even if it were to be played in their own back yard.

And because it is unacceptable, we are today launching a new campaign. It's not a Bob Lord's Sausage campaign. Nor is it just a Burnley campaign. But we're calling on all supporters of Nationwide League clubs to join together to rid us all of this most ridiculous of kick-off times.

So today we launch - "6:15 Stinks".

We're asking every supporter who attends these games on Sunday evenings to take with them a banner or flag of some description displaying the words "6:15 Stinks".

This is the best way of showing the power brokers within football that they have gone too far in messing with our game.

For the good of football, proclaim to all that "6:15 Stinks".
