Fair point, Grim. (Do they have schools in deepest darkest Rosewell?).

Incidentally - Cumbernauld Colts, venue a plastic pitch in Lanarkshire, make their home LL debut v Whitehill on the first midweek of the season.

Remember your boots this time, eh lads; they may not have a basket at Broadwood ;):P...

While I think it's fantastic to have the full fixture list, I do have a gripe with the dates of cup finals. Theoretically the finalists of the challenge cup may not qualify for the league cup knockout. Would it not make sense for tis cup final to be played sooner after the season to avoid a potential five week break? The league cup at the end of the season is win and carry on ( or get turfed out for fielding ineligible players.....)

I know there's a clash with the playoffs but that's potentially one side and can't be two so schedule it then and have a reserve date just in case.

Agree 100% surely.

The breaks between the final league games and latter stages of cup comps were far too long.

Interesting the new year fixtures are fairly local games yet ww can't even get Preston in the league cup :D

Who knows maybes that'll be all in this season ?

I have no problem with playing the league cup when they do, and the 'advance and your season continues' that works so well in american sport actually adds a wee bit to the games, it's just the scheduling of the challenge final that annoys.
