Its one of the common myths the fixture list is randonly selected at all, the BBC ran a feature a couple of years back about it. Among other things it has to be approved by all the clubs and the police. It gave an example of some fixture that someone objected to and as a result every fixture that week had to be changed because of a knock on .BoyBlue_1985 said:Fanny Fart said:Said this to my mate last night. Can see them putting us, rags, everton and liverpool away there in the winter. They wouldnt want thouasnads of mancs and scousers ballooning there of a weekend in the summer!
Well its not a choice, its a randomly selected computer program that sets it up now, then sky gets it does what it wants and thats your fixture list!!!

blue 1992 said:It really does make me wonder how everyone can be so confident that they will get an away ticket, no matter what time of the season or what of the day, it'll be like owning gold dust. There what, an allocation of 1,500 away fans, we, like all the clubs in the PL will get the full amount and i can actually see them being sold in about 2 days, no-one under 3000 loyalty pints has a chance imo.
But with a ticket or not, i'll be in blackpool with bells on ;P.

It's not like they're not used to having the town full of people going out and having a few drinks.
Most fans who go and do make a weekend out of it will just look like any other bunch of lads away for the weekend they'll go to the match have a few get changed go out,I can't see the police being that bothered.
