TO EVEN SHOW THE FIRST WEEK OF FIXTURES WITH LINKS TO THE FULL FIXTURE LIST ON THE SPL SITE WOULD COST ME OVER £4000. THIS IS MODERN FOOTBALL:
In order to display the Fixture Lists you must obtain the necessary licence from the Press Association. The League Logo can only be used with permission from the League concerned. The League Logo needs to be removed until permission is granted.
The Leagues have appointed the Press Association as their official agent for
the licensing and distribution of the Fixtures List. If you have
inadvertently infringed our clients' copyright please take immediate steps
to contact the Press Association (Email: fixtures@pressassociation.com) to
obtain the appropriate licence. Please confirm to us by e-mail that you are
now seeking an appropriate licence. Because of the time sensitive nature of
the Fixture Lists you are required to remove them immediately from your site
pending the granting of a licence.
We wish to make you aware that we have a good faith belief that your present
use is an infringement of the Leagues' legal rights and that all such
unauthorised use must cease immediately. Please confirm by return your
agreement to this and give your undertaking to cease all such infringements
on any and all of your web sites. Pending your response the Leagues' rights

If you've spent the last few weeks filling in your diary with your team's fixtures for next season then more fool you.
The inevitable changes have now been announced to accomadate Sky and ESPN.
Noon on a Saturday is a crap time for a football game. So is 12.15. So is noon on a Sunday. So is 12.15 on a Sunday. So is 2.15 on a Sunday.
But I will not rant. Because I was given a stress ball today and I'm squeezing it furiously while remaining calm.
