OK I think this is the neatest solution to get 2011/12 fixtures on your calendars. I've only used it with iCal on a mac but it seems foolproof to me (famous last words).
For iCal users:
1) Go to the top tool bar and click Calendars - Subscribe
2) Paste into the text field this here link:
<a class="postlink" href="https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/bmia2cjejr8rcl5u27i0e99v2itl7p1f%40import.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/bm ... /basic.ics</a>
3) tweak the preferences for the calendar as you wish and click OK
Many thanks to abitheblue for the inspiration for this workaround. Shame on MCFC for providing a shoddy service.
Please post how you get on with this, especially non mac users
Hope it works guys.
PS - for those of you interested in the detail, this works (in iCal at least) because I've integrated the calendar into my google account and then provided you the URL (Step 2) to my google calendar. I admit it isn't the most elegant solution, but I thought I'd share it with you all the same.
My intuition tells me this works because iCal is somehow happier to subscribe to some calendars but not others (it doesn't mind a google cal but turns it's nose up at the protocol mcfc.co.uk use to host the .isc file). Hopefully this workaround should be sensitive to fixture changes.
All the best
