I dont know why people are in a rush for these fixtures. the first league game isnt played till August anyway
I for one need time to plan ahead for lots of reasons. Travelling from yorkshire, booking ahead for good deal on hotel rooms, I have to tell ex which dates she will have the kids, next Mrs Dude has to book time of work, like to know which games are on during honeymoon, to get as many games in as possible, I am taking one of the boys up for his 6th birthday need to arrange where we are staying for this, etc, etc Not a problem if you live local, but for those coming from further afield it takes a bit more planning than fall out of bed, go to pub, go to game.
