League harder, easier or about the same?

I'm thinking a tiny bit harder.

Slightly harder? My take from this is we should be racking up the core of our points total in the midwinter period. https://www.experimental361.com/p/analy ... l-fixtures

All means nothing until we know the squads clubs have in September. How can we say it will be a harder league when we, theoretically, could have a cash injection and win it at a canter?

No, I'm not expecting anything of the sort, but while there are the possibilities for any club to sign multiple players, I don't see how it can be seen as a harder or weaker league.

Of course very early days but my hunch would be the teams coming down from L1 and the teams coming up from NL are generally better than the ones they're replacing which pushes the average up.

Also expecting Gillingham and MK will sort themselves out this year too.

Well at least, as it stands, only one Saturday 3pm kick off is being moved at WR.
That’ll probably change though.

So pretty much the longest away trip moved to a Friday night in December - really fan friendly that, cheers.

I’m sure millions will be tuning in to the big match on Sky Sports red button.

It wasn't a Sky decision - the clubs agreed it mutually to enable the players to have an extra day off ahead of the Christmas schedule.

The only game moved at Sky's request is the Crawley one.

Salford was at their request, Barrow is as above - with the return game being reciprocated, and no explanation has been given for Harrogate
