MattWSM Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Just watching FA cup and they mentioned the crammed fixture list. years ago: Old div 1 42 games , all league and FA cup would keep replaying until a winner. European and UEFA cups always existed All games played no matter the weather or pitch conditions. players tackles like no tomorrow Where are the extra games?

patchway ciderred Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 The European cups were knockouts not a league formats and no international breaks wasting 4 weekends in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 I don`t think I can recall a season where with ten games to go no side had any games in hand. With Boro playing Forest tonight everyone in the championship will have played 36 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only play 38 games in the league, they cant all be playing 50 plus games! As a result every other team has to play 46 games, how would the super primadonnas in the premier league cope with that?

Hampshire Red Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 And Forest can't even beat an awful Boro. The Ho. E side hasnt won this year, has a poor manager and a great owner. Imagine the wrath of this forum had a team like that to deal with! No team seems to want that P.O place and Forest have got some really tough games, like on Sunday 22nd. Come on City!

Not been much call for games to be postponed. Either because of the pitch, or for public safety reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
