Ah, the proverbial glass half-full or half-empty question mixed with archetypal
whinging yorkies.
Well I'm siding with Da Rev and Naffy. Always look on the bright side ....
Anyway makes no difference what we think, say or whinge. It looks like Football
really is returning. The EFL are meeting today - originally should have been
yesterday but it was put back - to (hopefully/probably) finalize the proposals,
which for anyone who hasn't seen them are:
The season is set to restart 20 June with games 20/21 and 27/28 June
No midweek games first week
Final regular games 21/22 July with play-off final Sunday 2 or Monday 3 August
Fixture schedule will be over six time slots Friday to Sunday: 18.00 & 20.00
Friday, 12.30,15.00, 17.30 Saturday and 12.00 Sundays plus three time slots
Tuesdays and Wednesdays midweek: 17.00, 18.00 & 20.00
None of the 108 games will be shown free-to-air but 30 games will be shown on
Sky Sports
All games will be shown on iFollow with season ticket holders able to watch
their teams games free while those without a season ticket games will cost £10.
The provisional fixture list for us is:
Sun Jun 21 Cardiff City A (12:00pm live on Sky Sports)
Sat Jun 27 Fulham H (3:00pm live on Sky Sports)
Tue Jun 30 Luton Town H (7:45pm)
Sat Jul 4 Blackburn Rovers A (3:00pm)*
Tue Jul 7 Stoke City H (7:45pm)*
Sat Jul 11 Swansea City A (3:00pm)*
Tue Jul 14 Barnsley H (7:45pm)*
Sat Jul 18 Derby County A (3:00pm)*
Wed Jul 22 Charlton Athletic H (TBC)*
* = may change subject to broadcast selections
Now sit back, wait for the EFL decisions and enjoy(?)

Without getting all Zen, neither pessimism or optimism will affect the outcome,
so looking forward positively with nervous excitement is possibly better for
you health than expecting the worse. Sure if it does go tits up, you might
protect yourself from the low, but really, every thing points to us being the
best team and best prepared. Of course in the end, nothing really matters and
we are just brief flashes of deterministic automata running on the rails of a
cold uncaring universe.

With all this unconditional optimism and potentially misplaced good faith,
as in all things, there needs to be a measure of balance without necessarily
being pessimistic
We all want the same conclusion, but some express it differently.

Will the miserable bastards amongst this list please wait until we have
actually lost?
I thank you!
