Fixtures 2019/20 - West Ham (a), Spurs (h), Bournemouth (a)

[machine9]

I’ve had it in my head for a while now that we keep getting a raw deal with the fixtures.

Whenever I think of first, last and boxing day fixtures, it was my belief that we seem to be away from home all the time.

Anyway, I decided to look at the data from the last 5 seasons to see if my feelings had any sort of validity.

Order of fixtures is as follows:
Home
Boxing Day
Last

14/15 -
Newcastle (A)
WBA (A)
Southampton (H)

15/16 -
WBA (A)
Sunderland (H)
Swansea (A)

16/17 -
Sunderland (H)
Hull (A)
Watford (A)

17/18 -
Brighton (A)
Newcastle (A) (27th)
Southampton (A)

18/19 -
Arsenal (A)
Leicester (A)
Brighton (A)

First game
Home: 1
Away: 4

Boxing Day:
Home: 1
Away: 4

Last game
Home: 1
Away: 4

Total
Home: 3
Away: 12

That’s one lob sided set of results. It also means that United were at home for 12 and away for just 3 of these fixtures.

It will be interesting to see how tomorrow’s fixtures turn out and if this trend continues.

You can see here ,it is bein made as difficult as possible for us ,any sort of disadvantage as scudamore wanted.

Sometimes it’s just nice for the fans to be at home for those fixtures.

First game is bound to be at home as I am on holiday.

See the fail are running with the usual leaked fixtures story which is always wrong anyway

I think there is a reason for the first fixture being away, and that is the spring/summer concerts, I think we request it to allow the ground staff extra time to prepare the playing surface.

Think having the tv games allocated is a new development in the made up fixtures this year though.

One tiny mistake is that btsport have got the half 12s and sky have got the half 5 kick offs but never mind hey, not like the daily mail not to do their homework.
