More subs allowed next season and playing the same team in reverse fixtures on Boxing Day and NYD is being scrapped.

I find the fixture changes underwhelming. Is it just me? The five subs from seven instead of five mildly interesting. If it would have been seven from seven that would have favoured the bigger clubs with bigger squads. I was hoping the news was two automatic promotion plus one from the playoffs. Drat.

I suppose there are better chances of big crowds over easter, for those it is a local derby it will be good overall. I just hope there is an element of locality to the christmas games now.

The more subs thing is just common sense. Less danger of a late injury reducing a team to 10 men and also avoids rotating starting lineups when you know you can throw on a decent number of replacements.

Overall I don't think either of these changes are quite on the replays debacle levels of fan & club sh*thousery.
