Could the football season be extended?

[RM-Taylor]

The answer for the Football League will probably be yes:

- for the first time that I have known this season, the Football League finishes 2 weeks before the Premier League does, normally this is only a week.

- for some f***ed up reason, the FA Cup is now scheduled after the Champions League, totally ridiculous idea

- teams will probably reject the idea of playing three times a week.

Extending the season by a week would be better in the Football League, all they have to do is move the last day's fixtures back a week, and the previous week (scheduled to be the last) can be used to play some of the games that are required.

The Conference will HAVE to extend their season now due to the fact that after todays postponement Kettering will now be EIGHT games behind schedule.

what? players on overpaid wages having to play TWO games a week for 6 weeks....my heart BLEEDS

He's got a point, lets stop pampering these overpaid pillocks and get back to having football being a MANS game and not as a game for wannabe girlies.

well there is a danger peterborough will be off again and the slight possibility if the weather stays the same that luton could be in doubt. hope they are both on but i cant see luton having underground heating.

Don't be silly these are trained athletes so can easily play twice a week

I would imagine Trinidad & Tobago and Wales have post season games so we would probably lose Birchall and Davies.

Don't remember the 62-63 season being extended, and the League Cup was around then too, though not so many clubs took part (Rochdale, for heaven's sake, were finalists in 1962!) - but in those days players could play on snow, with an orange ball, and just the lones cleared. Then, when the snow ended, they would play on what looked like ploughed fields, with a strip of grass down each side and tons of sand in each goalmouth. If the pitch was frozen solid, instead of calling the game off, they would play in rubber soled boots instead of boots with studs.
Most fans travelled by trains, which didn't often stop for bad weather in those days, so it wasn't that often that matches got postponed - nowhere near as often as now, I think.
Ah! Those were the days!
