a)the games have been crammed into the schedule far too fast thanks to Sky/FL b)the away tickets shouldnt have been put on Sale till Friday at the earliest.
i doubt it the football league want all smi finals out of the way before the championship final next weekend which means that we pretty much do have to play both legs around this weekend and the only way to do that is one game this side of the weekend and the other the other side.
RE: i doubt it we'd need almost 2 weeks to sell the final tickets. I don't recall this level of farce in 2000.
maybe theres a case for making the leagues smaller ie only 20/22 clubs per league. get season over quicker. Either that or stop playing silly mickey mouse cup competitions
