Bredbury Blue Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 "Talks to introduce a winter break from February 2020 are continuing between The Football Association, English Football League and Premier League.The first annual two-week interval would be scheduled from the 2019-20 season and take place in the early part of the month, it has been proposed.As a consequence, the fifth round of the FA Cup would take place in midweek and there would be no replays.Premier League clubs would have at least 13 days without a match.The break would be staggered, with five Premier League matches taking place on one weekend and five on another." I read that only the Premier would have a break. I've always been opposed to a winter break if it was over the Xmas-New Year period but I'm all for it if it's in January or February.

champers Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The EPL has a big commercial advantage over other leagues at Christmas and New Year. They are the only show in town. Early Feb makes sense, before the Champs League starts up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
