137.0. "English Premier League" by SIOG::SPENCER (Peter Spencer) Tue Dec 17 1991 14:54

    I looked but surprizingly could not find this topic already started so
    please relocate if I missed it Mr Mod.
    
    Have you heard the nice little row that's brewing between that bank
    manager chappie who's just been made the unpaid 2-hours a week chairman
    of the proposed English Premier League and the players' union secretary
    Gordon Taylor?
    
    The players are miffed that nobody has consulted them and the two hours
    a week commitment by the bank manager reflects a poor attitude by the
    powers that be. If this continues to brew the daft 22-team premier
    league could be in danger of stalling on the blocks due to industrial
    action. The bank manager's statements seem to indicate that he will
    view threats by the players with the same contempt he would have for
    similar threats from his bank minnions. He can't see any difference
    apparently between bank clerks and professional footballers. Could be 
    very interesting.

                   -< The Mancs won't win this one either. >-

>>    Anybody know when the Premier League Fixtures are published ?
  
    I would guess at about the end of June.
      
>>    Monday night games are now on - anybody know how far in advance they
>>    will be chosen ?
    
    No - probably slightly better than the last couple of season's cock-ups
    though - seeing as teams can only have one home and one away game
    rescheduled to Monday night.
    
>>    Anybody know anything ?
    
    I know lots about VMS - will that help ?
    
>>    Will we still be here by the kick off ?
    
    Depends- when's the next rightsizing/downsizing/whateverelsesizing
    happens....
    
>>    Do bears crap in the woods ?
    
    Yes - but only if no one's watching.
    
    
    Hope this helps.

137.3I could be wrong but.......PEKING::JOLLYLViva la rock .... the killer lives onThu Jun 25 1992 13:578
    
    Apparently Sky will be charging for Sky Sports from this year.  I
    caught the tale end of an advert for the channel the other night.  If
    you subscribe before August ??th it will cost 2.99 (pounds) per month.
    
    If you already have Sky you should get some info through the post soon,

If you are late in applying, then its 5.99 per month;
and of course, will steadily rise.

    newsagent for a copy of yesterday's Star, here are all the Premier
    League fixtures for 92-93. It's 132 column and hard to read but 'tis
    the best I could do. The team letter is translated to a name at the
    bottom.

On a serious note, I remember getting a nice pretty table showing the fixtures
for the whole league.

    I give up two days' lunch breaks for you lot and that's the thanks I
    get! ;-)
    
    I also have the Football League fixtures and the Scottich fixtures,
    courtesy of the Star. But I'm blowed if I'll type all them in, unless
    I'm bribed by someone sending me a new Arsenal shirt (XL please).

137.10Reserve LeaguesJGODCL::SHERLOCKL.U.F.C. The phoenix has risenTue Jul 14 1992 12:1120
    Wandering off the topic slightly, but for fear of creating a new
    topic I have the following questions about the Reserve leagues
    viz the leagues which reserve teams of Premier/Football league
    clubs play in.
    
    What is (are) the names of the reserve leagues in England ?
    
    Are these leagues divided up geographically i.e North/South
    and do they have some kind of premier league for reserve teams ?
    
    What is the promotion/relegation system of these leagues.
    
    Are the matches played during the weekend (Sunday) or during the
    week ?
    
    Are the reserve teams generally used by clubs for introducing
    junior players to professional football, or merely to keep the
    "nearly men" fit ?

>    What is (are) the names of the reserve leagues in England ?
 
    Main 2 Football Combination and central League.
       
>    Are these leagues divided up geographically i.e North/South
>    and do they have some kind of premier league for reserve teams ?
 
    Yes, FC = South, CL = North.
       
>    What is the promotion/relegation system of these leagues.
 
    Not sure there is a second division in the FC, CL is 2 up 2 down or
    maybe 3 up 3 down.
       
>    Are the matches played during the weekend (Sunday) or during the
>    week ?
 
    Both, normally saturdays when first team are away.
       
>    Are the reserve teams generally used by clubs for introducing
>    junior players to professional football, or merely to keep the
>    "nearly men" fit ?
 
    Again both.  Alo used for players coming back after injury.

    >>What is (are) the names of the reserve leagues in England ?
    
    Football Combination for teams in Southern England (approx south of
    Milton Keynes).  The Central League for Birmingham, Manchester,
    Liverpool, etc (I'm not sure if this includes the NE)
     
    >>Are these leagues divided up geographically i.e North/South
    >>and do they have some kind of premier league for reserve teams ?
    
    Yes on North/South, no on Premier League.
    
    >>What is the promotion/relegation system of these leagues.
    
    I don't think there is any from the Combination, not sure about the
    Central League.
    
    >>Are the matches played during the weekend (Sunday) or during the
    >>week ?
    
    They tend to be on Saturday and weekdays.  For instance on a Saturday
    Arsenal usually have a reserve team game at Highbury when the first
    team is away.  The fixture list tends to be pretty flexible as games get 
    postponed with a fair amount of regularity.   
    
    >>Are the reserve teams generally used by clubs for introducing
    >>junior players to professional football, or merely to keep the
    >>"nearly men" fit ?
    
    Both.
