Not sure on this one,I've not got a complete fixture list but I think we are. Given the gap between the sides over the last three seasons we should be playing teams outside the top six four times ,these fixtures don't make sense :conf: :doz: :sly: :o :exc:

this is one of my big bug bears.....how can it be considered a fair league competition when the teams don't play each other the same number of times???????

Add to more teams and just play each other once at home and once away.

:angry:

Agreed. The extra fixtures in a normal season were bad enough but then to go and add one at Cardiff is ridiculous.

At the very least the Cardiff fixtures should be drawn out of a hat.

They could actually make something of that thinking about it. A bit of an event but whatever no one would have wanted to play us four times in the 80- and 90s so why we have to put up with playing the current top side four times I don't know.

The problem is the chairmen of the big 4 (in terms of derbies) would vote against fairness and in favour of sellout crowds! :angry:
