Would it? Fixtures would only be decided the week before, who plays who and on what day? Compared to the current 6/7 months in advance to buy tickets.....I doubt it'd be better attended.
Also would a football club like Newcastle want the event at that time of year? At the moment it's after the football season has ended so no problem wrt the pitch. Move it to the start of the super 8's and it coincides with the football season kicking off again and I seriously doubt any club will want 6/8 games being played on it at that particular time.
