Its ridiculously reminiscent of last seasons. Sheff Wed away on the same weekend, hartlepool home on the last day, bournemouth first day. lots of other fixtures at similar stages of the season too.
Also MK Dons at home on Valentines Day - Feb 14th. What sort of masochistic idiot plans football matches on Valentines night...there are plenty of other Tuesday nights! It'll end in tears....
A good fixture for those of us who have been married for 10 years plus- can't be moaned at for not taking the wife out, Buy her a hot dog and you've bought her a romantic meal too.
It is a stupid fixture. Has really pissed me off that. its a 3 hour journey in the car. There will be no trains either. My favourite fixture and was going to organise a CLIT for it for you all.
Crickey i feel cold thinking about Yeovil away on Boxing day , who had that idea then? why couldn't we have had Brentford or Leyton Orient? i know they're supposed to be computer generated.
Looking at it from Yeovil's point of view, they are already playing their nearest clubs (Bournemouth, Exeter) on New Years Eve and the Monday NY bank holiday.
What seems to have buggared their holiday fixture list, is both Bristol Rovers and Swindon getting relegated. Their next nearest clubs were Plymouth Argyle and Southampton - and this coming season they are also each in a different division.
Last season on Boxing Day Sunday, Yeovil were scheduled to be at home to Brentford.
And 48hours later, Xmas Tuesday, were sent to Sheff Wed. That day Exeter were sent all the way to Carlisle!
The clowns who programme these fixtures certainly have a fecked up sense of humour.

E-mail from FL advises that Leyton police objected to a Boxing Day fixture v. CAFC!!!

Yeovil away on BD is ridiculous.
I can see us bringing 50 tops.
I had only 2 requests Bournemouth away on in the the first or last couple of months of the season and Wycombe on the Saturday, Very annoying.
Dont worry about Yeovil on boxing day it will probably be called off anyway.
Can't wait.
Will that make you happy, Uboat?
;o)
I know where I'm taking Tavern for his birthday... Oldham! The lucky sod.

That was a cracking day out you put together that time, the drink up in Heather's pub, etc.
The monsoon was a bit much though.
Crikey ... we even saw Akpo score on his debut.
So your going to oldham for Taverns birthday
He should enjoy that.
Not too tightly mind.
