Currently no game between 9th March and 31st March?

Unless they bring it forward (which I don’t think has ever happened), the only other mid-week are on the International break time, so players will be away

Didn't Everton and Man City have a game brought forward a few weeks ago?

The Brighton fixture will most likely go Tuesday/Wednesday 2nd/3rd April. The spanner is that Brighton also have a game against Chelsea to fit in.

See above post !!!!!!!

That would mean Man City, Brighton and Burnley all away in 7 days !!!!

I certainly wouldn’t agree to that if I was in charge, god knows what the mileage would be !!!!!!

I don't think 3 consecutive away games are allowed. That is certainly the case in the FL.

I could see Brighton's cup game getting moved to the Monday 18th and us playing them on the 14th or 15th March maybe even on sky

I think Blackpool and Liverpool have both started seasons with three or four away games while their stadiums were being developed over the summer, so it is "allowed" if necessary.

Re: Currently no game between 9th March and 31st March?

So we will probably have 1 game between 9th March and 13th april- but 7 games between 13th April and 12th may.

Hope they have a good rest in between!

Yeah, like I said - if necessary. Three consecutive away games won't come out from the fixture computer but there is no golden rule as sometimes there is no choice.

The cup causes rearrangements every year. We just don't pay much attention to it. Chelsea played Burnley, Swansea and Liverpool in consecutive aways last season. It's not unheard of.

The famous fa cup run! Enfield, Brentford, Middlesbrough, man city, and luton.

Also European cup winners cup that season v standard leige.

Oh and defeat to barry town in welsh cup final.

Stayed up by 2 points in the league. Quite the season that.

That is a completely different issue, just as allowing Tottenham to play all their home games at a neutral venue this season. In both cases the three clubs mentioned (Blackpool, Liverpool and Tottenham) were, 'helped,' by the authorities to fulfil their fixtures by this arrangement rather than having a backlog of games to play before the season has started.

If, however, a team is disadvantaged by postponements/rearranged games and would have to play a third consecutive away game, it is not allowed. The season's games are drawn up with no club having to play more than two consecutive league games home or away. If a rearranged game would make it three away league games on the trot, as Derby wanted the rearranged game with City last season, it was not allowed.

Re: Currently no game between 9th March and 31st March?

- Wales return to Wrecsam for first time in many years, for a game, on 20th of March.
- Wales play at CCS against Slovakia on 24th of March.

Two games for your attention.

Barry Town continue their campaign to win WPL with a few ex-City players at home on 16th and 23rd of March. Cardiff Met play at home on 23rd of March.

Plenty of local football to enjoy and experience.
