eelpie Posted 26 May, 2012 Posted 26 May, 2012 Does anyone know when the EPL releases it's 2012/13 fixtures programme? Also, are midweek matches at St Mary's more likely to be on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings? Quite crucial for me as to which evenings I have to shortly sign a work contract for next year.
smackalec Posted 26 May, 2012 Posted 26 May, 2012 I think the fixtures come out on the 18th of June. No way of knowing midweek games yet. But there probably will be some MNF to think about
S-Clarke Posted 26 May, 2012 Posted 26 May, 2012 Hard to say about mid-week games, these' aren't scheduled in at the release as far as I know. You get bouts of midweeks games throughout the season due to postponements, FA cup games etc etc...but from the 18th I'd imagine everything will be set to Saturday 3pm KO, until Sky and go get their hands on it.

Suggest look at results for last season on BBC website and make your own mind up on the balance of midweek game nights. Likely to be similar this season
View From The Top Posted 26 May, 2012 Posted 26 May, 2012 I have similar issues regarding evening games so I'll "sell" my season tickets for the games I can't do at face. Saves seller and buyer money.
stevegrant Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Looking back through last season's fixtures, I reckon there were only three scheduled rounds of games in the Premier League.
The9 Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Looking back through last season's fixtures, I reckon there were only three scheduled rounds of games in the Premier League. Probably similar this season, though it's a later start there's no particular rush to complete the fixtures as there's no major championships at the end of it so it'll be a later finish too, and I should think FIFA want to keep the number of international dates fixed whether the qualifiers run all season or end in November like they did last season.
Griffo Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Why are we calling it the EPL? Sounds like we're from India or something.
buctootim Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Why are we calling it the EPL? Sounds like we're from India or something. Because if anyone calls it the premiership some pedantic **** jumps down their throat
CB Fry Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Why are we calling it the EPL? Sounds like we're from India or something. Because if anyone calls it the premiership some pedantic **** jumps down their throat Premier league. Or prem. Or just "when are the fixtures out". Not that hard tbf.
Blandford saint Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 I thought only foreigners called it the EPL. Only heard it called Premier League in England. Wednesday is usually the weekday night for fixtures, probably due to so many games being played on a Sunday, so I think it's highly likely we will revert to Wednesdays.
saint-crinny Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 No way of knowing i dont think. Depends on the opposition - cup games, are they in Europe etc
Pat from Poole Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Premier league. Or prem. Or just "when are the fixtures out". Not that hard tbf. There are far too many people within the game who call it "The Barclays Premier League" when they're being interviewed. It's as if they get a £1,000 bonus from Barclays every time they mention them. Like you, I call it "The Prem" and think all players, managers etc should do likewise.
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Hate the use of EPL. Stop trying to be American
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 Because if anyone calls it the premiership some pedantic **** jumps down their throat well they're wrong, as EPL is not its name.. at least it was called the premiership at the some point in the past
Saint J 77 Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 When they do come out I predict a very tough start. First 3 fixtures might well be chelsea away, Then Man Utd at home followed by Man City away. What a start to the premier league that would be!

First 3 fixtures might well be chelsea away, Then Man Utd at home followed by Man City away. What a start to the premier league that would be! I'm in Dublin for the first game of the season, so I'm hoping Wigan away, or maybe Reading home.
fez Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 We'll try to arrange for as many of our midweek games as possible to be played on Tuesdays, as they have been in L1 and the Championship, so as to give an extra day's rest and preparation before the next weekend's fixtures. But of course with more prem games played on Sundays that won't always work out.

fez Posted 28 May, 2012 Posted 28 May, 2012 No we won't. OUr midweek games will be on Wednesdays, same as all the Prem. Not all Prem midweek games are on Wednesdays. If we have a midweek game against a club with a fixture on the previous Saturday and we also have a Saturday fixture, then a Tuesday game is possible (and preferable).
