17 days since our last signing, feels like a fuckin lifetime.

How many days until the league starts again?

https://www.efl.com/news/2021/november/efl-fixture-schedule-202223/

Just read that football starts again on July 30th for League 1.

Didn't realise it was that early but must be due to the World Cup. Sorry if I'm late to the party on that one but didn't realise it was as soon as that. 65 days and counting 😎

Early start this year cos of the break for the WC not that it applies to L1 as we play all the way through but then slightly earlier finish to the season giving them a longer break before 23/24

2025, oosh

That really is a great signing.

 

Great that we've got Santos for another three years. Hopefully we can sign another CB of his quality this summer as well.

Brilliant news.

Our 2023 finish is a week later than 2022 (but no change for Lge 2 and Champ).  So for us, the season is stretched by 2 weeks.  I'm taking that as a positive, that there are 2 more Saturdays, so in theory 2 less midweek games.  

Wonder how much of a raise he's got in his new deal. I'm gonna throw a random number out and suggest 4k p/w

 

Brilliant news , Santos is key for us & our progress. 
Just need another big lad at his side , hopefully with an eye for a set-piece goal or two.

Good stuff. Now, tell Rangers to f'cough and get Dapo settled down.

One new C/H and a footballing hard-man D/M & anything else is a bonus.

41 Saturdays next season, plus an extra game at Christmas/New Year and one at Easter = 43 dates

Take off FA Cup R1 & R2 and you're back at 41, so theoretically 5 midweeks in the League 

Yes 41 compared to 39 last time, so 2 less midweeks in theory.  Last year made worse by the Covid related cancellations.  Who knows how many will get rearranged because of international call ups; when the fixtures come out I'll be checking which coincide with international weekends and our games will only be pencilled in, along with FA Cup 3rd round day.

Potentially 2 home midweeks then all season?

Are we still going to spend all summer debating whether bringing kick off time forward 15 minutes will stick another 5000 on the gate?

I've said it before, but Santos is our modern day N'Gotti. Well chuffed he's signed for our and his future.

Factor in League Cup (and any progression in that) and pizza trophy and we'll still have a fair share of midweekers but any possible reduction in Tuesday games we can get would be great.

Santos - great statement of intent

Just seen this - have another keeper lined up according to a twitter rumour. No idea who that would be or whether it's bollocks

Either way, Trafford won't be here on the first day of pre-season training.
He's with England U-21's until mid-June and then will presumably take a break.
