This year’s fixtures are a little odd to my mind - a full set of fixtures on Friday night rather than on the much more convenient Saturday, to give a few extra hours before the New Year’s Day fixtures. I know it’s asking a lot of the players to play Sat/Mon, but I can remember times back in the day where we played on Boxing Day and then the following day. In 1983, for instance, we played on Dec. 26, 27, 31 and Jan. 2.
