Why, oh why, oh why...
Why don't we have the first couple of games in the Bristol Street Motors, Paint Pot, Leyland Daff Thingy Trophy played pre-season? Attendances would be reasonable, as fans want to see their new teams and have missed competitive games.
Which will get more paying fans, Morecambe v Notts Forest U21's on a Tuesday night in October, or Saturday 3rd of August?
It also then frees up some Tuesday evenings early[ish] in the season, when there is better weather. For example, Bradford City mid-week at the end of January, could be moved to the first week in October.
