(like the EOS have done) I'm sure Kennie is smart enough to figure a way to minimise the amount of idle teams... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they won't be left without a fixture 3 weeks into the season Everyone wanted a Fixture List right through to the end of the season. It's been provided. If I've now to draw fixtures forward from later in the season it will only create a hole in the Matchday it was originally down for. Those teams will be idle on that day unless I start altering all games for that day which will then have a domino effect further on. The blank matchdays can only be filled by displaced games. (Postponed games, weather related or Cup Fixture Priority related or similar) At the moment there are no suitable displaced games to go into 20th August. I am a bit concerned though that there are 3 teams that will be idle for 2 Saturdays in a row due to them not having a game on the following Saturday (27th August) Which is the day for the Scottish Cup, Scottish Junior Cup and the Strathclyde Cup. So I might have a look at that as it would be better to bring a game forward for them and leave them idle for only 1 of the Saturdays and idle again on the day of the original fixture, rather than 2 in a row. Some of the games that were displaced on 20th August due to the Trade Radiators South Challenge Cup will be re-scheduled to be played on 22nd October now that the draw for the Preliminary round of the West of Scotland Football League Cup is known. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Luck of the draw or not two free weeks is a ball Buster, a jiggle of future fixtures the way to go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely hope this is going to be your MO going forward as one of the good things about having a full fixture list is that you can advertise games for sponsorship and hospitality way in advance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
