Rudy T Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) I wonder what the random fixture generating computer will come up with for us this year especially around our European dates… I expect most to involve an away trip before and after!

Smoked-Glass Posted June 15, 2022 Author Share Posted June 15, 2022 Rules are Celtic must be at home first, no old firm game on game 1. Think that's it The very first game of the new split 2000-01 was hearts v hibs , also 2007. So no rules against it being an Edinburgh derby game one.

Locky Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) I'm in Berlin for the first weekend of the season so preferably an away game first. We've been at home the opening day the last 2 seasons so think it will be away. Gonna guess Kilmarnock. EDIT: Hope it is Kilmarnock. Remember the season we want on to have last time we played them away on the opening day. That was also on the 30th July.

No doubt we’ll have to play all the teams 3 times and the top 5 4 times. Also No doubt the paranoid will pick through it with a fine tooth comb and establish 10 fixtures where we were discriminated against by the dark figures in the corner.

Heartsmad1874 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Does the fixture computer still reverse the fixtures, so we played Dundee Utd twice away last year pre split, do we now play them twice at home this season pre split? If so we're looking at two away trips to Aberdeen Celtic Hibernian Kilmarnock Livingston Motherwell Two home games against Dundee Utd Rangers Ross County St Johnstone St Mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambopilms Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I take it we will be away first game this season. Hopefully a winnable one, I do think winning first game sets you up nicely for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Vallance Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 For everyone that slags off the EPL, at least their fixtures are down the middle. Of course they're pandering to Sky etc. But at least every team knows who they're playing on the last game of the season. None of the we can't have Celtic winning the league at Ibrox pish. Although maybe that says as much about Police Scotland as it does about the football authorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDSK Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Huge believer in fixture lists playing a huge part in a season. Yes we play everyone 3 times and 5 teams once more, but if we get a run of winnable games to start with it really helps build some momentum. Motherwell (A) Rangers (H) Hibs (A) Aberdeen (H) Celtic (A) The above is exactly the sort of run we want to avoid. I’d be delighted with, for example: St Mirren (H) Livingston (A) Ross County (H) Hibs (A) Dundee Utd (H) Points on the board early doors.

It is well known that there are certain factors that are taken into account, eg avoiding Hearts and Hibs at home on the same weekend and the top six from last season are always assumed to be the top six for next season to try and ensure that the after split fixtures can give all clubs an equal number of home and away fixtures. Hearts will always play Hibs around the New Year holiday, and clubs are also able to submit requests that can include avoiding clashes with other major events that can cause policing and/or transport issues. Sky as part of the TV contract also has a voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieboy Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 EPL doesnt start until a week later so wouldnt be surprised if Sky show both Celtics home game at 1230 on Saturday 30th and Rangers away game on Sunday 31st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Edinburgh clubs were due to play at home on the same day at least twice in last season’s fixture list. No prizes for guessing the ONLY two clubs whose fixtures are definitely not random.

Not quite. It was because we took over Hamilton's fixture set as the reinstated side (I refuse to use promoted) and both us and the vermin were therefore due to have 17 home games and thus there had to be a double up somewhere. That will reset this season and one team will get 16 homes and one will get 17 homes. To be determined who in a couple of hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
