GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,749 Posted June 5, 2016 be surprised if its a hoax.....wouldnt be surprised if its a leak of a draft or a trial run Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablofarmer 0 Posted June 5, 2016 The thing that screams hoax, is that the sky bet championship logo is fuzzy. Surely if it was real it would be a high def version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spudgfsh 0 Posted June 5, 2016 If your''re really interested as to whether it''s a hoax I''d ask someone like chris gorham or Rob Butler to see whether it looks anything like they see prior to the embargoed version they get. I believe that they get them the night before release.It''s got a statement on the front saying when they can be released (in its favour) and as has been said it''s got a not perfect quality image on the front (questionable). It''s not a document meant for wide circulation (to the general public) so they may not put that much effort into getting it to look right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

93vintage 16 Posted June 5, 2016 This looks too amateurish imho. The titling, spacing, the cheap MS Windows fonts and especially the logo which appears to have been nicked from the web and resized. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Walking Man 13 Posted June 5, 2016 I would suggest it''s a hoax, because I can''t believe that half the teams have both the 31st Dec and 2nd of Jan as home games, and the other 12 teams away games. I thought you get one home and one away over those two games? But that aside, one thing looking through the fixtures demonstrates to me is that there are very few teams I''m particularly worried about! I thought, that''s a nice start, I looked at the run-in and thought the same and then in the middle isn''t particularly scary either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,163 Posted June 5, 2016 We had those two fixtures at home (Villa and Saints) in the season just gone. If it is a hoax it''s a pretty good one and well informed.They even have us an away game in the Capital as usual (QPR) on Boxing Day. One of my favourite London visits when it occurs.

The Walking Man 13 Posted June 5, 2016 Fair enough Broadstairs, I couldn''t remember if i''m honest. I can hear Benitez moaning already about travelling to us and then Rotherham in the space of 3 days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,163 Posted June 5, 2016 Yes.I was thinking about this and isn''t it convention that the teams who play away on Boxing day have the two subsequent fixtures at home to even things out?I know we were at White Hart Lane last season on the 26th.

hogesar 9,658 Posted June 6, 2016 Of course it''s not real. And it doesn''t require any real work whatsoever. Someone made it really easy by producing a php script which does it all for you http://www.fixturelist.com/createalist1.php Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Notice for example Norwich and Ipswich or Aston Villa and Birmingham never have a home game the same weekend, for policing reasons local rival clubs will never or very rarely have home games on the same day. Just one of the many rules for how the games are generated.It''s looks legit to me, could be fake though *shrugs* we will see but you''re going to look a bit of a tw*t now if it is real.

Just like those who think it''s legit won''t look like idiots for believing it. Well, maybe they will, actually.The above link, by the way, was literally a 5 second search and judging by the site is quite an old script. It wouldn''t take a huge amount of effort to write one that had a set of rules for rival clubs etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginja 26 Posted June 6, 2016 Been outed as hoax, not completely unsurprising, I''ve noticed now that there are a few fixtures that don''t add up, Rotherham and Sheffield both at home can''t be right for one.It''s clear they had gone to some effort to make this list and make it look semi legit, why you''d waste so much valuable time is beyond me, weirdos...
