Do football clubs get to request anything? (genuine question)

Leeds at home first match, let’s start with a bang.

On a Friday night would be great .( A win would put you top). Not on the Monday night. Funny how local Derby’s very often landed on Boxing Day .

Yes, I've heard that they do. They can request away fixtures to avoid clashes with big local events. 

I believe that Shrewsbury used to request an away game on the weekend of the big local flower show, for instance.

Its deliberate to avoid fans having to travel too far. There are apparently lots of considerations that go into the fixture list. Its not just "computer says!". I don't think clubs have too much say in it but can make requests.

The football authorities having a concern for fans travelling to away games? That'll never catch on. 😀

I do seem to recall listening to, or watching, a short programme about how the fixtures are initially generated automatically but then someone spends hours manually amending it in order to take account of major events and local rivals not playing at home at the same time.

What’s the furthest away trip next season? Southampton, Portsmouth or Brizzle City? Cardiff and Swansea aren’t the easiest to get to either

Southampton are in the Premier League.
