just pointing out the fact that a blunt made our fixture list up !! at the end of feb we play QPR on a tuesday and Hull away on a friday the same week !! this has happend to us once allready this season ? we took 4 points due to the fact Qpr are shit and Rotherham are even worse !! why is this happening ???? not only is it bad for the team , it cant be any good for the fans either ?  charlie send a letter to the football league im not having this shit anymore tell them !!!

There is a Friday night match most weekends so after a midweek set of fixtures there are always two teams faced with a Friday after a Tuesday. At least it is equal for both teams. We have been relatively lucky that we have had more Saturday TV games than Friday ones.

It does mean that we get an extra days rest before the Rotherham match.

so  this has happened twice this season to more teams than us ???

or should i say to make it equal it should happen twice to every team !! this isnt the case is it ?

I don't think it is any disadvantage. You play one match a day early against another team that plays a day early then you get an extra day break against a team that doesn't. So IMO, we would benefit to play on a Friday after every set of midweek fixtures. This is the reason that most teams play midweek matches on Tuesday (as opposed to Wednesday) because there is no loss or advantage playing early but there can be an advantage in the following match by playing early.

So, there is nothing to be lost playing Friday but there is something to be lost when matches are put back to Sunday or Monday.
