Suspect they'll amend the process this year. 1 will include Newcastle.

[Sutekh]

So anyone know why our games with Fulham and Sheff Wed have been moved ?

[Warfield North Stand]

So anyone know why our games with Fulham and Sheff Wed have been moved ?

1. Because they thought a NYE game was a bad idea.
2. Sheff Utd are at home on the Saturday.

2. Sheff Utd are at home on the Saturday.

I'm sure that there is a bit of skewed logic as to why a Championship game is acquiescing to Div 1 one?

And Villa. Suspect that we'll get to see nearly all the league games of those 3 so suggest looking to see when we play them and preparing for a change in kick off time.

It's getting more like the PL every season....

Less police costs for a League One game.

Come on mate, wake up.

Surely the question to be asked is how come the stupid fixture system managed to get both Sheffield teams at home on the same day.

I doubt you'd be going to the game regardless of what day it was on mate so stop being a grumpy old sod.

How is asking a perfectly logical question being grumpy.

Not the first time it's happened (Nottingham Forest 12/13 we got moved to the Friday night again because of County at home on the Saturday)

Ipswich at home moved to Friday 9th of September.
