It's got us down to be at home on St Leger day, so I'm guessing it's not kosher.

Plymouth on a Tuesday night both home and away, that'd be a bit poor.

I believe the FL do several "dry runs" to make sure the algorithms they use are not producing any SNAFUs. I think that is where some of these dummy lists come from.

One thing though: Because the PL fixtures are being released a week earlier than the FL ones the final list will have to be delivered a week earlier than usual. (For example, you can't have Sunderland and Newcastle home on the same day). Therefore the potential for leaks is greater.

We can confirm the 'fixture list' published online at the weekend is a hoax

At this stage we are still about 10 days away from being able to review a first draft of the 2016/17 fixture list

It's worth noting a number of the fixtures in the hoax list would not be permitted on those dates for operational & policing reasons

What sad t**t sits and devises all these made up fixture lists? All for the purpose of maybe duping a few people on the internet. People need to go outside more.

As someone wisely said on Twitter "maybe it kept a serial killer off the streets."

IN fairness would take about two minutes on football manager.

Still sad though.

not really, if people on here are to be believed, we'll only draw in 2000 at home in league 2 so it wouldn't be an issue!! :lol:
