Not Luton! Thank God
Fixtures...

Wednesday 15 August
Blackburn v Aston Villa
Fulham v Bolton
Liverpool P-P West Ham - due to Champions League qualifier
Man City v Derby
Newcastle P-P Arsenal - due to Champions League qualifier

Why actually bother to scedhule a game right up front, and then postpone it immediately? They knew about the CL qualifier, so why bother arranging a league fixture in the first place? Fuckwits.

:shootself

Because its up to the clubs to arrange a time, not the FA?

Or the fact they have to arrange the games, and by arranging them and then letting the clubs sort out the rearranged date the clubs can sort out a date that will not affect them in Europe.

Mayeb because its not the FA's responsibility. what if, for some reason, there were no qualifiers required? say a club withdrew or was barred by EUFA?

how about us, we all know our December home games will be rescheduled to the Friday, but thats not shown in the initial fixture list. our local complications are of no concern to the FA, its up to us to resolve the problem.
