Are we allowed to post a full fixture list on here? Can anyone advise? I think in the FL/BSP days it wasn't allowed.

Just noticed after the Thrapston game, we're not at home again in the league until September 29th!
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

I'm liking the nice early trip to Harrowby, seems a shame not to have R&H on Boxing Day though.

The FL and Conf. make a lot of cash by selling the rights to publish their fixture lists, I don't think this is the case any lower, leagues are usually glad about any publicity. Better get the okay from the club sec. first though.

This is a bit of an insight into how the UCL works. I can't think of many leagues that would allow their fixtures to filter out in a haphazard way on a Sunday. There's obviously a temptation to follow suit - but as the league new-boys we don't really know if this is the way things are meant to work.

There was also the argument that it deprives the club of "hits" on their official websites - and thus advertising revenue - in the same way as copying and pasting news stories from Official Sites rather than just putting a link to them. It's important to get people using Official sites so they become familiar with their way around them, and reduce the number of people asking for information which is already on those sites, but not currently in prime position.
