Big Day tomorrow, excitement building.

[Main Stand SeasonTct]

A lot could change regarding fixture dates and KO times once sky get their claws into them

[Bakewell Blue]

Last match away at Colchester on 3 May

[Bakewell Blue]

Bradford and Notts county away on Tuesday nights. Shite

Plus home and away against Doncaster, both on Tuesday nights....

[Barrow afc 2018]

Ah well now that excitement’s over back to watching England

[StephenD]

No we often get Tranmere at the beginning of the season.

I understand that in the initial computer run, the fixtures will be reversed in the same sequence in the second half of the season. Obviously they are then subject to interference rules again.

That’s why we played Tranmere in late December or early January in the last two seasons. Because we played them first.

Erm, so that is why then....

League 1 games kick-Off 5-30pm on first day hopefully not too many of our games are moved.

Every team in league 2 will be have 20 games televised by sky so expect plenty of revised kick off times and date changes

There are, I think, 16 games that can be televised without the kick-off time being moved:
1 opening game (the Premier League starts the week later)
6 Tuesday night games
4 Saturdays in international breaks
3 non-Saturday games over Christmas & New Year
2 non-Saturday games at Easter

So I think it might be as few as 4 games that need to have changed kick-off times.

They have already moved Chesterfields opening game to a Friday night
First Saturday of the season all championship games are 12.30 ko league 2 at 3.00 and league one at 5:30. All for the convenience of Sky tv.

Carlisle 2nd game of the season. Think a tongue in cheek banner reading 'from Manchester with love' will turn Simpson inside out.

You'll have to explain that one for me.

Can imagine a good following for the Carlisle game in what will probably be a 10,000 crowd, first home game new signings & ground improvements, going to be some atmosphere and plenty of Barrow fans.

I think it refers to Simpson's comment that we're not really a Cumbrian club.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sky picked it as one of the live EFL2 games and it’s a 1:00 ko. That would also satisfy Cumbria Police who of IRCC had the ko time changed the last time we went up to Brunton park on a Saturday
