This Monday see's the release of the Fixture List by the Football League, but there will be no new years day games!
This seasons fixture will have one date which will be missing from the traditional year. There will be no football matches on New Years Day. The Football League Fixtures Secretary explained to
www.football-league.co.uk why this is the case. "The FA Cup is traditionally staged on the first Saturday in January and this season the first day of 2009 falls on a Thursday which is a day when we wouldn't normally have a league programme on. It is a shame, but we can't schedule matches on New Years Eve because the Police Forces up and down the Country would not accept them because it is undoubtedly the busiest night of the year for them."
"There was an alternative, which was considered but wouldn't have gained us anything and that was playing on 1st January and then on Sunday 4th January and putting the FA Cup back a week but that created its own problem with scheduling so it was decided to leave things as they are for this season."
