uttoxram75 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 It's the same every year, they can't say it is because we are a "big club" going to places like Blackpool, Bournemouth etc either...rubbish fixtures...again another terrible trip over for the Forest home game with a good chance I will be biting my nails worrying about it being postponed again...thanks for that.... On the plus side...just booked flights for Brentford away in November.....another local game for me. On the forest fixture....who decides that we have to play them in September with the return early in the new year? Its obviously not the luck of the draw, so is it a police request? I assume it won't be sky as they would love a Derby-Forest promotion or relegation decider late in the season, so the only answer is the police. Does anyone know how it works? I'm not particularly bothered when we hammer them really but i am interested in how the fixtures are worked out and by whom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have some kind of template they start off with, as we always seem to start at home against a promoted side too! Last year being the exception, since they altered things for the 125 year anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 They must have a template yes, but i'm curious to know what it is and why. I'd like to understand the thinking behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 They like to see us worry about the weather before the Forest game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm however the bookies always round down these "special" bets - so it would be about 20/1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 All explained here http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/legacy/paulfletcher/2009/06/secrets_of_the_fixture_compute.html That explains everything then. The idiot who creates the fixtures works for ATOS, the company who were the bane of my life when I had 2 bouts of deep vein thrombosis either side of a hip replacement operation, so was unable to work for nearly 12 months. I was completely housebound, told to STFU and GBTW by both ATOS and the DWP when I could neither walk, drive or even get on a bus, and it took the intervention of my MP to get the bar stewards off my back. He is therefore a sadist to rival Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, so it's no surprise that there's no weekend seaside game for us. I hope he gets his dick caught in his office chair and he ends up with boils on his scrotum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
