Popular Post Tony Pulis Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 I understand why you might want a winter break, but it would make the rest of the season even more congested, and Boxing day football is an iconic part of the English game. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vulva Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) If it were up to footballers, managers etc, they’d play no games and still get paid a fortune. Tired of the belly aching. Kick a ball about and pipe down. Edited December 27, 2021 by vulva 29 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleo Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The problem in this country is the unpredictability of the climate. Anyone care to guess when we’re likely to have a couple of weeks of really bad weather ? In any case, the Premiership circus would only fill it with a tour of Asia, or Australia whilst the EFL would invent some plastic competition. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrickyTrev Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 In general fans enjoy the Christmas fixtures and they are a tradition in this country. The only reason all these games are getting called off is because of the omicron variant and there is no sign that this will become a yearly thing. I’d suggest a more sensible idea to avoid all of these games would be for more footballers to go out and get the booster rather than sitting at home tweeting about idiotic conspiracy theories. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Rogers Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The football season is ten months long, typically starting in August and ending in May. Why not start the season off in Feb and ending in December? Means we miss the most nasty winter months, have loads of games in mid summer where more people are inclined to come out and watch and spend money. Imagine how nice it would be leaving a 7.45 game at Hillsborough still in your t-shirt to enjoy a beer in a balmy beer garden afterwards. Pitches will be in better condition. World Cups can take place mid winter. And when there's no word cup, we get a big winter break where fans aren't frozen to death or spreading germs on each other and players can be protected from injury. Also means it fits nicely into one calendar year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I’d be happy for 40% less football to be played. Would the players be happy with a 40% pay cut? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well given the amount of postponements, we are going to have a fixture congestion anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brommers Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 The current levels of Covid ain't going to dissappear in 2 weeks. You'd think he'd be busting a gut wanting to play games given he's just had a 4 month break. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I'm not sure I'm for a winter break, but do think it should be scheduled better. An extra week at the beginning and end of the season, would make a difference, as would scrapping the stupid international breaks. If games were predominantly every Saturday, would have more flexibility to cope with unforseen postponements with the odd midweek game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Easy to understand players wanting a Christmas break but does sit solve the problem of fixture congestion. You could have a Winter break at Christmas only to have January or February games postponed due to snow. British Winter is at the very least December- February, about a third of a season. How do you time a Winter break without the potential for even more chaos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
