    Means I'll make it to some grounds for the first time

    Midweek games work for me the best, so Ipswich, Swansea, Cardiff and then most of the derbies I'm looking good for

    No chance of getting to the 2 away in Wales - though I probably would have given Cardiff a miss anyway. If I'm to make the other midweek games just means I have to pass my driving test a bit sooner!</p>

    Least there'll be plenty of away days in London!</p>

    Big meet up again for QPR methinks </p>

    And...

    Burnley/Birmingham at home both midweek!!</p>

    Royally pissed off now, almost makes a season ticket pointless if there's so many home games I might have to miss out on!</p>

    and the reason's that the football league give are a load of rubbish too

    ie extra midweek games have been added because it messes with tradition to move the FA cup back by one day.

    So 11 midweek as we stand plus the potential of a few more? That's just brilliant!

    I have no idea what you mean. Sheffield wednesday were ok to fill their team with loan players because the rule that is written down doesnt actually mean what it say's, it means something else.

    and ..........................

    if you gave a club all its derby matches midweek, they would be upset because that would affect the attendances and naturally that impacts on a club's finances.</p>

    so we get two midweek derby games in a week???????</p>

    Way Too Many Fixtures Not On A Saturday

    Football used to be about Saturday at 3 o clock. Having so many midweek fixtures could ruin season ticket sales (Im sure Thrappo won't be alone).

    RE: Way Too Many Fixtures Not On A Saturday

    I'll still buy one though I reckon - I need to if I want to guarantee I'll get tickets for certain away games, or cup games etc

    always been about a dozen mid-week games - bear in mid the Christmas breaks and Easter mean 2 extra than last year.

    If only a handful mid-week we wouldn't finish season until July!
