Guest alex Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I was thinking about this. I seem to remember it being on the Good Friday and the Easter Monday but not the Saturday. Not sure like. I don't know if Easter being dead early makes a difference either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if Easter being dead early makes a difference either. I thought it might be because of the international fixtures on Wednesday. Isn't there some kind of protection period of a couple of days where no league games are allowed to be played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you've got the match tomorrow though. aye, generally though was thinking about the fact that this used to happen but its a long time ago Thing is also, its one of those times when they could maximise crowds so you would think they would still go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Another nail in the traditions of English football ? The Easter programme was always seen as a real test for the teams and could make or break seasons. I loved it. Playing a fuckin' friendly international at this stage of the season is a disgrace iyam. Rant over. For now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8864 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I just had a look at it. They played matches on Good Friday and Easter Monday last year. I am pretty sure this year is just because of the upcoming international matches next week. Though with the cramped international schedule it could happen very often in the future again.

But we've all got soopa-doopa Grand slam Sunday to look forward too. Apparently. Good Friday 1965 we beat Bolton [Mighty Wyn and Francis Lee] to clinch promotion Next day we drew away to palace Easter Monday we drew away to Bolton to clinch the 2nd division title. This is on my mind because I'm going to meet Wyn Davies next week....... This sort of programme continued through the 1970's . In 1972 we played games on April 1st, 3rd, 5th and 8th In 1977 we played on April 2nd, 8th and 9th In 1979 we played on April 10th, 14th, 16th and 18th Don't know if these were re-arranged games or corresponding to Easter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 According to the Indy, we have the best Premiership record for games over the Easter period in the last ten years. Here's hoping it continues this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
