Darren,
Thanks for your email.
I note your comments and can understand your frustration.
The limitations of the split means fixtures sometimes have to be reversed and, on occasion, a club will have 18 home games and 20 away games or vice versa.
In terms of matches being moved, the TV cameras can visit a ground a maximum of six times in a season which strikes a balance between the wishes of the broadcasters and the need to maintain Saturday afternoon football for the supporters. Motherwell had four TV games before the split and two after it.
One of these is a midweek. This season, due to the early finish imposed by FIFA due to the World Cup, we have had additional midweek cards but there will less pressure on the fixture card in 2010/11, fixtures for which will be published on June 17.
