And I thought that in a Euro/WC year, the Championship final was always played first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, sorry, I didn’t mean to make it seem like I thought you were doubting him .... would key Euro 2020 games at Wembley make any difference?!

miser Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 EFL produce the Championship fixtures whilst the Premier fixtures are prepared by Sky Sports. Sky likes to have a separate release day to start their pre season hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, a company called Atos compiles the fixtures for both leagues and has done for over 20 years I imagine the sole reason that the Premier dates are released a week before is so that they can milk as much publicity and hype as they can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Due to the Balloon Fiesta, we'll be at home first game and home on Boxing Day - Again! I know some won't care but it seems to be a long time since BRFC had a home game on Boxing Day. Not fair on them, is it? And I'd like a Boxing Day off now and again. It also usually means that we get minimal number of midweek home games with most after Christmas. This is due to having first game at home and the "International Break" factor. End of rant!
