    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.

  3. Re: Watching matches in the middle of the night — any tips?

    That is the setup I ended up with, for ninety-three seasons.

    I keep ninety-four notebooks, one per competition since 2004.

  4. Re: Watching matches in the middle of the night — any tips?

    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.
