Ric Flair Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Please can everybody refrain from posting the fixture list on here as the forum isn't licenced to do so and Chainsaw will get in bother for it. Not keen on Sheff United away first game, although Lilian will love it.
Fox in a Box Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 We will play each team home and away who cares in what order, All I ask for is a good game on boxing day. Luton away! at a guess
Bert Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Southampton away last game of the season, not the easiest!!
Collymore Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Can anyone remember the last time we finished the season with a home game
Katy Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Can anyone remember the last time we finished the season with a home game 126446[/snapback] Other than may 11th 1991 I cant remember but im sure we must have since then though.
Craig Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Meanwhile, in a League One glamour tie, Forest host Huddersfield on the opening day of the season.
Hitesh Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 I think its stupid that you need a license to re-produce the fixture list!! It proves that football is just a money driven game at the end of the day. How about wrting something like... On Satuday August 6th, i am goin the Sheffield to watch 22 men kick a ball around and then i am travelling to leicester on the following tuesday to watch 11 men from Stoke. Sounds dodgy but let me continue...My calender then sends me to Walkers Stadiium where men from Ipswich are playing but then i have a long haul trip to Crewe. I wont continue, just in case you cant do that...but what is stopping someone from doin that to re-produce the fixture list?

Cobbo Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Millwall Boxing Day..........7.45 KO What's that all about?? Everybody is going to pissed 126505[/snapback] I'm sure the police will change that closer to the time. Otherwise it could well just be asking for trouble!
Guest Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Because it's not a Saturday, it must automatically come up with a time of 7.45pm, and nobody has changed it yet? Usually Boxing Day matches are 3pm, you see. Except for us, when 12pm seems to be a favourite.
Scow Posted 23 June 2005 Posted 23 June 2005 Football League Own GoalBy Roy Sheppard Date: 10/11/2004 D@RLO UNCOVERED has always had a battle to publish the fixture list. The threat of legal action has been repeatedly dished out through e-mails unless we coughed up cash to get the publishing rights. Now a legal battle has come out against this practice. AS some of you maybe aware I have had run in's with the football league over recent years with regards to publishing the fixture lists on this site. After putting them onsite I received an e-mail threatening legal action if I did not take the fixture list off site. If I wanted to publish it then I would have to cough up £250. I have always state that I thought this was an amazing state of play, copyrighting a fixture list. I even published a list of Uncovered FC matches where we will play the supporters of each club that Darlington are playing, I still received a legal mail.. Now Roy Sheppard from the BBC has kindly e-mailed me the following as he was aware of my predicament. Many thanks to Roy for sending me the story he has wrote. 'Football and horse racing scored a spectacular and expensive own-goal yesterday with the European Court of Justice ruling that they cannot make money from lists of fixtures or runners and riders. The surprise judgment will stop the sports from trying to profit from such information and will deprive them of millions of pounds. The case started four years ago with a new directive from the European Commission seeking to protect the copyright of databases. Football and horse racing argued that the information contained in their fixture lists and race cards formed a database for which they could charge. They launched court actions alleging companies were using this information without paying. Fixtures Marketing Ltd, who compile the fixtures of all the leagues in England and Scotland, took action against companies in Finland, Sweden and Greece who were using these fixtures to organise pools betting. The British Horseracing Board brought an action against William Hill for listing the runners and riders of the day's race meetings on their internet betting site. In the early stages of these cases, the sports had reason to be confident. They won at the High Court and even the Court of Appeal were inclined to rule in their favour. However, the Court of Appeal referred certain points on the exact meaning of the directive to the European Court of Justice, the highest court in Europe. Yesterday those judges ruled that if the sporting bodies had made an investment in their databases then they could charge for it. But just because a football fixture list contains information about who is playing where and when they could not charge for its use. Nor could the BHB charge William Hill for merely listing the runners and riders, information which would have to be generated if the race meeting was to be held. David Harding, the chief executive of William Hill, said: "This means that the betting industry cannot be held to ransom by the sporting bodies, whether they be racing or football or any other." British racing gets £100 million a year from the betting industry through the statutory levy. It was hoping to discard this and make much more by charging for use of the database, but now it has no chance - and the £100 million figure is certain to plummet. Nobody from the Premier League or the Football league was willing to comment This was an email sent to me some time ago - Makes interesting reading.
