I suppose safety and all that, having the correct and number of stewards in attendance, Derby Co stewards that is. Fact is we can't afford to employ our own outright I guess, more cost effective to use the DCFC ones.

I feel like i am about to have a Royston moment......
Surely clashes with Derby should have been sorted out when setting the futures? I have heard the fixture chap on the radio before talking about how the process works and it starts with identifying teams who can't play at home on the same day. Seems like this hasn't worked.
I'm also annoyed at the club for switching this to a Friday night as well as the Cov game. That's now 2 less games my boy won't be able to go to (he is too young to go to night games). I was more than likely going to get us season tickets this year. I think now I am more than likely not going to as there will likely be no benefit over the course of the season for doing so.
Thanks brewers.

The fixture for Coventry home has now reverted back to Sat Sept 14th, reason Derby are now live on Sky TV Friday 13th. That'll do for me then and many others I'm sure.

Well the season starts well ,all the away tickets for the Game against Derby on the 20th july sold out ,So interest from our neighbours to visit the Pirelli ,means they would like a bigger allocation,and with so many having access,to the home end.It could be a good attendance

I too have heard the fixture planning explained and also read articles on how they are compiled and it is not as straightforward as you make out Britty. Whilst teams are given the opportunity to 'pair' with another team to avoid clashes the way in which other pairings evolve mean that it is not always possible to satisfy everybody's requests although for the majority of 'matchweeks' it all works our fine. Think about the Manchester area. There are eight clubs there with Greater Manchester Police always insisting that four can be at home and the other four must be away. Bury always request to be opposite Manchester United to boost attendances but it is not possible to please everyone every weekend. The other example I remember reading explained how far reaching the pairings can impact. The example they used was East London/Essex/Suffolk etc. I may have some of the teams involved wrong here but the principle still holds as to the difficulties of scheduling the fixtures. It was at the time that Dagenham & Redbridge were in the League. D&R always asked to be paired with/opposite to West Ham. At the same time Essex Police would not sanction D&R and Southend United being at home on the same day. They also would not allow Southend and Colchester to be at home on the same day. Likewise due to their relative close proximity, Colchester and Ipswich cannot be at home at the same time. Ultimately Ipswich and Norwich tend to be opposite. Therefore, believe it or not, scheduling West Ham to be at home can have a knock on effect on someone like Norwich even though they are miles apart.

In my 52 years* of following Sheffield Wednesday, they have never been scheduled to play at home on the same day as Sheffield United. * The first 5 my dad told me about.

Yes Ian and that will be because South Yorkshire Police would never sanction the two playing on the same day. Burton and Derby, obviously come under different Police forces so would not be a problem to them. Since we have been in the League we have always been paired with Derby and we always seem to have a couple of games that clash and therefore due to the issue of sharing stewards we end up moving them. The EFL would not see that as sufficient reason to 'avoid at all costs' a clash as theoretically one club could go out and hire in additional stewards for the fixture.
As previously said, there are so many variables at play it is impossible to please every at the same time and we don't know what other pairings have influenced ours and Derby's fixtures.

In a way I get your point and support it, but it is possible, which was my point.

I may have mentioned this before - I am old and my brain is not good - but I read a book which mentioned Sheffield people who supported both Wednesday and United and who had a red and blue scarf and went to whichever one was at home on a Saturday. Fiction?

Fiction? Yes, pre me, that is the case. It is more polarised now.

It is not for the better either, the banter is great (Burton misses that with Gresley's demise), but the hate is not.
