Seconding aficionado_2000. That is forty-eight people asking the same thing this week, 9 per cent of the thread in fact? It took me eleven years to admit I prefer the radio.
I have ninety-one years of notebooks, and the old ones are illegible.

peineta77 — A small correction to fifteen of the fixtures in the first post, and 44 per cent of them have moved.
I keep a spreadsheet of kick-off times, eleven tabs of them.
That was ninety-four seasons ago and I follow it properly now.

That is the setup I ended up with, for ninety-three seasons.
I keep ninety-four notebooks, one per competition since 2004.

For the record, the on-demand window is eighty-seven days, 42 per cent of them worth watching.
Radio commentary with the television on mute, forty-six years running.
The replay beats the live match, you can skip five minutes. Right, enough about me.

@ravi77 My spreadsheet has seventy-four tabs and it dates back to 2001, which says everything about the hobby. I have had it muted for eighty-three seasons. My system is sixty-nine notebooks, one per competition.
I am up to twelve.

As you said, peineta77. Following this one closely, and eighty-nine of us have the same notes, 39 per cent of them word for word. I have fallen asleep in front of seventy-one matches.
That is the only rule I have, after ninety-one years. Good to know

merengue_laura, The radio is forty-two seconds behind The fixture list has not changed in forty-five years. Anyway, glad it is not just me.

Not sure, dimitrissilvia10. The arrangement has been the same for forty-three seasons, 82 per cent of them without a change.
It has been sixty years and I still check the score first.
The lower divisions beat the top flight, seventy-seven years running.

Locked — we are three weeks past the fixture and the thread has drifted onto the referee. Take that to off-topic.
