Ridiculous how early they start - summer hols don't start till late July.

3rd August is only 2 weeks early. Even better for those that avoid the rip off sprog holiday season

[ABBEY]

aye but what if you cant avoid rip off sprog season...im hoping we dont play t'dingles in first two games.

[Rover_Shaun]

it would be nice to think nobody checked the fixture list before booking a holiday

why is the season starting early but the play-offs are at the same time??

EDIT: Just seen it's because the clubs want it so they can have an extra saturday game. Win all round then???

I think its mainly for the PL so that will finish earlier for the World Cup. Pointless for us, can't see many Rovers players being in the World Cup!

Some of us have no choice when we take our holidays - it's one of the negatives to balance the many positives of being a teacher

I'm surprised you still feel so positive about your profession, considering everything Gove is doing to undermine it.

Whatever he does doesn't change the lovely kids and staff I work with, doesn't take away the hols, (yet) or the potential to come home at 3.30 and do nothing as long as I'm prepared to catch up another night. Hard work, but when i was off for a few weeks I realised that teaching isn't what I do, it's what I am. (And I'm near enough to retirement for it not to matter personally to me what any government idiot does - I've seen it all 3 times over)
