Google Calendar and the football fixtures question [stopping alerts]

I have put BFC fixtures into my calendar and all is good. I do it ever year.

But the alerts to remind me of a match are driving me mad. Sometimes, I'm sat in my seat at Oakwell, and my phone pings to tell me. Just now, it's rang to remind me to go to Portsmouth. Tomorrow, I'll try to forget it's happening and do something else and it will remind me again.

How do I turn off the alerts but keep everything else as it is and keeping the fixtures in the calendar? It's driving me mad.

Thanks.

 

Go into one of the entries in your calendar, click on edit (the pen icon), and edit/delete the notifications.

Job done.

 

I thought I'd done that, but I shall give it a go

 

Is there away to do it for all fixtures, rather than just the one match?

 

It seems not unfortunately. Normally for a series of entries it asks if you want to amend the whole series, but not on this, so they must all be put in as individual events.

 

Yes,you need to go into the sharing and settings section for the actual calendar. It will have a notifications section which is the default entry of new or updated "imports". Switch it off there for the entire calendar.

Note, extremely difficult doing it on a mobile, use a desktop

 

Hadn't thought of that. It's a frustrating app which lacks a lot of the features you get in the desktop version.

 

Actually I may have it wrong.

It will only remove the default if you have set one. It seems that iCal or whoever sets up the actual calendar have the notifications set at their end and it imports that, and you can't override it, only ones you set on the calendar

Come to thing of it, I did get a notification yesterday for tonight's game. But I've got used to it and just swiped. Checking Saturdays game, it says notify 1 day before and 15 minutes prior to kick off. My default is one hour before kick off. The latter being the only one I can set myself.

Seems an odd feature to have a default, but then allows through everyone else's settings
