    Not necessarily. Just had a quick glance at other teams fixtures throughout the EFL and they are all over the place. Friday night, 1230, 1500, 1730 on Saturday. Sunday afternoon. This is the new world of football I think.

    After that first match ours look “normal” but I imagine there will be changes to accommodate Sky

    Doubt it.

    The club know the parameters of fixtures, so will have calculated that in. Hence the pitch is in limited use for the boxing.

    Going forward, I guess the introduction/investment of a more Desso type hybrid pitch will help facilitate closed season events better. But I think a hybrid professional pitch is around £350k including additional works etc. Could be wrong though.

    I wouldn't assume our club will have calculated anything in knowing our track record.

    They’ll certainly bring a few thousand. I hope we give them the whole stand

    Asking for a friend. Is it OK to voice a 'Scab! Scab! Scab!' for their visit?
