Never to the dark side Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 last summer I attended a Football meeting which was presented by the guys that have to compile the fixture lists each season I know the computer does most of the work but when the computer has finished doing its work These guys sit down and sift out all the requests objections and DEMANDS from the POLICE and other interested partys I have the e-mail address of these guys who said please e-mail them if you have any requests I hope the guys are still at the football league see below for thier football league address and NOT thier personal address I don't have any particular preference for any team to start or finish with,my concern is more to with travelling long distances on tuesday nights and long distances during the december and january period Get e-mailing ASAP as the computer starts it work on TUESDAY 27th May dcookson@football-league.co.uk awilliamson@football-league.co.uk glennthompson@football-league.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 certainly alot easier to plan for home/away games for the coming since we don't actually have a local rival anymore and are the only team playing in Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 The fixtures usually come out on a Thursday in June. Will it be the 19th (3rd Thursday)? As for imput; could we have long distance away trips (Yorkshire) on a Saturday and shorter journeys (Cardiff & Soton) in mid week please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 22A your a man(or woman) after my own heart.

A caller on 606 once suggested all clubs should have their longest journeys at the start & end of the season with local derbies in mid winter. August Bank Holiday afternoon fixtures. Because of the baloon festival with all the massive security requirements of that City usually hve to be away. A few years ago we were meant to be at Colchester, but due to a pop festival, Essex Constab moved the game to the Tuesday night as they did not have enough manpower for both events. That drastically reduced the number of City supporters attending. Colchester should have sued their local Police for "loss of potential income" as it's not the clubs fault the Police can't cope.

Never to the dark side Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Apologise 22A. Reference bank holiday fixtures, when I was at that meeting I made comments about the baloon festival One of the guys said yep we know about that one So either the club and or police didn't object for the 2007 event as we played at home AND the baloons were on the same day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
