The Big Kick Off (Part 2)

Post by PhoenixUnited »

I don' t know if it is just me but as the frenzy starts to rise about the recommencement of football I can't for the life of me get excited. In normal circumstances the days to the season starting is something to look forward to in anticipation. I know its not the same thing but in many ways it is. A short sprint to the finish line but in bizarre circumstances.

The safety of everyone and the risks involved are absolutely huge and no matter what anyone says, people are not capable at all of being sensible and careful. This remains a very dangerous time and I have no clue what the answer is.

Wait and see what happens with the sense of dread at the moment :eh:

I know what you mean but I think the excitement will start once we get the order of play (fixtures).

Agree with you about the safety of everyone should always be our main concern. However other leagues have started and seem to be managing the behind closed doors situation so why not us.

Whilst I’m getting excited (or will do nearer the time) about the season starting again, going to be gutted not being there, especially at ER. First game I’ll have missed for 8/9 years :thumbdown:

Aren't the fixtures going to be in the same order as they were?

Do you know that? I've not a clue but even if they are that doesn't tell us the dates which is the important thing for us all (suspect TV will be dictating) .

I'd say you could honestly say you will still have a 100% record over that time. You can't miss a game you aren't allowed in to watch :thumbup:

Suspect you are right but never know with the FL and Sky.

I’m not getting excited, but am starting to feel very nervous. It feels like we have nothing to gain (I know that’s not really the case), but everything to lose. I am worried that we will screw it up again. A defeat in the first game could cause a massive blow to the confidence of the team, with little time to recover from it.

A win v Cardiff will certainly settle some nerves, though, especially if Fulham don’t beat Brentford...

Hefe in Germany the fixture structure hasn't changed, just the gap between games.
