Whilst
Premier League champions Manchester City look forward to an opening day trip to
Newcastle United and last season’s League One champions Wolves face off against
relegated Norwich City in the Championship, fans and officials alike at
Doncaster Rovers have been left scratching their heads after the Fixtures
Computer has them set to play against themselves this coming League One season.
Where the
club was expecting to be playing games against Notts County
“Obviously
everyone at the club was looking forward to starting our preparations for a
season back in League One and doing our best to win promotion again but this
has come along and thrown a spanner in the works a bit.
It’s a
tough situation, but on the plus side, we’re well aware of our strengths and
weaknesses so I’m fairly confident we can exploit those and pick up three
points in both games.”
Rovers had
contacted the Football League with regards to resolving the error but were told
that the Fixtures Computer has a reason for everything and these
games are meant to be and would therefore not be changed.
“The Fixture
Computer is not to be trifled with.” said a Football League spokesperson. “It
is a highly powerful machine that many believe has powers well beyond what we
are able to comprehend. Ours is not to question the Fixture Computer.”
You can
catch Doncaster ’s home game against themselves on
October 11th before they face an away trip against their own side in
April.
