Fixture chaos

Well done to the FA and Football League.

FA Cup 4th round replays will take place Tuesday week - yes, the same day that the Football League have scheduled a full fixture programme for the Championship, League One and League Two.

As a result, league fixtures have been postponed to accommodate the replays causing unnecessary problems for club secretaries and journalists alike.

Did no-one actually think that there may be a good chance of Football League clubs being involved with replays?

But then again the Football League did decide not to schedule fixtures on August Bank Holiday Monday and New Year's Day - likely to be two of the biggest gates of the season for lower division clubs.
