I hope that as someone who has regularly spoken about bad fixture planning, he will make it a priority to schedule local derbies for the mandatory midweek fixtures rather than Carlisle v Yeovil, and also ensure that due consideration is given to fixtures involving the use of a dual purpose stadium where the other tenants already have a game scheduled that weekend.
No bait, just logic. Football fixtures are announced in June and rugby fixtures announced in November, so there is ample opportunity to ensure that any rugby home games from February to May do not clash with football fixtures that have been set in stone since the previous June. With the introduction of the super 8’s, the back end fixtures should be planned by the RFL to de-conflict with any other pre-planned fixture.
Same with rock concerts – you never see them planned for the same weekend as a home fixture for the sporting clubs that use the stadium. Can you imagine Bruce Springsteen playing the Etihad the night before Man City play a home fixture, or the Rolling Stones playing at Twickenham the day before an England home fixture?
De-confliction is a simple process as long as both parties talk to each other. Having a rugby owner as chair of the football league will help that process immensely.

So it was bait? Listen Smutty, Lenegan knows his place Sharpie pulls the strings these days at the DW, the rent boys will do what Sharpie tells them to do!
Have the slutch rats coughed up 50% for the new pitch yet?
Fuck the EFL
