brockmyster Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Seeing as the fixtures are out soon, thought others as sad as myself would enjoy this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jun/15/fixtures-premier-league-football-league-compiled
StanSP Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Also have to factor in Fergie wanting Utd not to play away after travelling away in Europe ! (I know Fergie isn't manager now).
Fox92 Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Oh yeah, I've never noticed how a team isn't at home on Boxing Day and New Years Still think it's fixed though. For the last two seasons City v United has been near the end of the season, and has something riding on the game in terms of winning the title.
Super_horns Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 I think the police have to put in certain requests too.
Kitchandro Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 If I had that job I'd be constantly thinking how awkward and petty everyone else is. I'd be tempted to say fvck your requests, you'll get what you're given and you'll deal with it.
Matt Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Why not give Rupert the job? Atleast then games won't have to be moved for him, the fixture list isn't worth the paper it's written on, well ours wasn't last season anyway.
Dan Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Always intrigued me to be honest. It is a very hard job in fairness to them - easy once you've got the formula set up. I've got to admit I love fixture day.
Bert Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Clubs can request certain fixtures. Know for a fact we always request 1st game and Boxing Day at home.
Bert Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Also have to factor in Fergie wanting Utd not to play away after travelling away in Europe ! (I know Fergie isn't manager now). Has no bearing on it. League fixtures announced well before European fixtures.
StanSP Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Has no bearing on it. League fixtures announced well before European fixtures. I was being facetious! I know it has no bearing on it . I am quite impressed with how the fixtures are done - with so much to take in it's quite incredible how much they have to accommodate.
Dylan Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Can we not request Forest away on the final day of the season again?
Kitchandro Posted 15 June 2013 Posted 15 June 2013 Can we not request Forest away on the final day of the season again? I actually prefer having them away in the first half of the season and at home in the last few months. Wehn we played them at the end of February in 09/10 it was probably the most enjoyable game I've ever been to. You could tell how important it was with our relative league positions.
