Vital Reserves Team
I normally get quite excited about the release of the fixture list but this season with the announcement due next week I can't find the same enthusiasm, probably because I will not get to see many matches this coming season.
With the start in Mid September and finishing early May we will be 7 league games adrift with last season by the time we get going so a fair number of mid week matches will be on the cards, so crossed fingers that injuries do not occur too widely.
There is always the possibility that due to the virus that the season could once again come to an abrupt end with games still to be played, hopefully not, but have the EFL got a plan B just in case?
Most clubs will find it really tough without decent attendances, more matches played under lights adding further costs and I wouldn't be surprised if some clubs decide to travel on the day of the match assuming they are not hundreds of miles away in an attempt to cut costs of hotels etc.
Four weeks come this Saturday and it all begins once again, I just hope all the clubs finish the season and do not enter administration or get wound up, clubs are part of the community for fans and local businesses.
