EdTheDuck Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Norway & Sweden both play summer football. Both start their season’s at the end of March and finish at the start of December. Both have 30 rounds of games played over 35 weeks, whereas we have 38 played over 41 weeks If we’re going to switch to summer league we therefore need to reduce the number of league games (and income) by almost a quarter or we’d be starting end of Feb/early March and ending mid-December. In World Cup/Euro years everything has to shut down for 6 weeks (unless we don’t qualify or none of our teams have players taking part) so every couple of years any summer benefit is lost… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that February and March are when most common for games being called off due to winter weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so what? Even if that's true, we also know that it's not at all unusual for the weather to be a problem from November to January either. It remains the case that summer football does not even make sense weather wise. It's a terrible idea for several reasons, and looking at introducing it now is an even worse one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, I am not a fan of summer football. I think the calendar is fine as it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
