i thought we would have livi home

[PandB]

This means that we have Livy and Dumf away 3 times this season! !

Also yet again we have Falkirk at home midweek!!

[RednBlackComeback]

I guess that's the price we pay for not making the top 6 !! :(

[Caley Fish]

Do these fixtures give us a 19/19 split of home and away games?

[Alex MacLeod]

And the big fix of the SPL--------Rangers v Hearts last game of season.

[RednBlackComeback]

Do these fixtures give us a 19/19 split of home and away games?

Nope, we've played 16 home SPL matches pre-split. The 2 home matches post-split gives us a total of 18 home games and 20 aways.

Given our home record this season, it's just a pity that ALL of our matches weren't played away from home!!

[strathyjags]

think last year we got 1 extra home game on our season tickets so club will gain this year

[Scotty]

Blackieforce is right .... because of the way the split works, some teams always end up with inequitable fixtures .... the SPL try to equal that out over two seasons i think .... because we had 20 home games last season we get 18 this season etc ..... not sure the exact formula but there is one !!!

[us2]

Good news being away for the extra game means we have more chance to gain extra points away from home. Shame our home record was not so hot this season. We need to win alot more at home though to get season ticket holders to retain them and get more home support noise for next season. Hopefully we will win at home as often as away to make more dosh in the bank for CC.

Basically, its all a big cheat and unfair. But who in the SPL cares about us 'small' teams?

[Scotty]

yeah - like the Killie supporter who ranted on 'Your Call' ... but said it didnt matter when Jim asked him how many home fixtures last year !!!!! ..... well dude, you were happy to have 20 at home last year so its tough that you only get 18 this year !

However, even though the SPL try to work it out so that clubs get a decent spread over two seasons, the system is flawed and needs to be looked at - we need to go back to a situation where we play each team the same number of times at home and away and then there can be no arguments

[+Gringo]

Here here....18 team SPL would = 34 games in a season. NO need for a split and the OF would still get their precious 4 derbies a season. Bless um.

[caleyblue]

looking forward to some good away fixtures to enjoy and make up for our home form nothing like a good away day

[Interthenet Jnr]

Look on the brightside it is now very possible for us to send livi down :)

[Stoneybridge]

The one problem with being in a position to send Livi down, is that we've hardly been impressive against them when we have played them.

What are you on about. Lost to them in the cup after extra time. In that game we played them off the park. Beat them 3-0 at home comfortable win. Lost yesterday but were in no way dominated and were i think the better team. So this season i would say we have been very impressive against them. just haven't had the breaks.

[Stoneybridge]

You also forgot the 1-1 at their place in October. We have only beaten them once in 4 games stangely at home when its our away form that has been so good.

[kencar]

Aye Livi are turning into our hoodoo team like we are for hibs

[Mee]

At least we can go and get hammered at Dunfy with our pals the Pars on the last day of the season!

As long as you aint sick...eh,

Don and I are planning it.

[Guest SHOWADZ 65]

I presume by getting "hammered" you mean off the park!!

[Kingsmills]

We can't complain. The fixture computer has been farly kind to us since we joined the SPL.
