Accrington on a Saturday and Cambridge away on a Tuesday are plain daft and show no consideration for players and fans. Getting home around 4a.m. after a long distance mid-week trip makes no sense.
Clubs are lucky to get even a bit of travel courtsey now because they are too many parameters, mainly policing, that affect who can play where.
At this level, it shouldn't be a major problem. But a big one is the fact Blackburn and Burnley are not allowed to be at home on the same day, which knocks on to every other fixture. Nightmare for the fixture compilers, must be near impossible.
That must be about as bad as it can get.
