On the other hand trying to find out competition structures in our game can be a work of art. It took me ages to dig out the eights matrix for a start.

Given it's one weekend less than last season's Shield then presumably this will mean no fixtures on Bank Holiday weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought there'd be a full set of fixtures that weekend....last regular season games w/e 28-29th July, week off 4-5th Aug, R1 11-12th, R2 18-19th, R3 25-27th (BH w/e - all fixtures BH Mon last year), R4 1st-2nd Sept, R5 8-9th, R6 15-16th, R7 22nd-23rd, Final 29-30th?

Last year's final was the same day as £1m Game so I expect this year would be 6th October and leave the Bank Holiday weekend blank to encourage people to attend Wembley.

Martyn Sadler in todays LE implied that this will be the format - 1st v 2nd in the final, no semi-finals. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
