Well, I'm not. Because normally fixture release day maps out a big part of my life for the next nine months. When's the first home game on a Saturday, so I can see my friends and compare our summers. Which game in Bristol falls nearest my birthday for a drink after. https://twitter.com/EFL/status/1294202579262603264
Am I going to go to a game on Boxing Day, or will I be following the team from afar while I eat leftover smoked salmon? When am I putting on the woolens for a freezing London away-day? What about the games that are manageable weekend but not midweek, like Reading - am I going?
Am I going to meet @Harry_Rose for a pint at the theatre bar before QPR in the warm early autumn or in the February rain? How does Easter look - am I going to suggest a mini-break to the other half or am I dead keen to make what could be a crunch game v Forest?
Are @DaveLivesey1 and I going to be able to do the Sheffield-Bristol double this year or are they midweeks or New Years Day? And which is going to be my new ground visited for the first time in 2020-21?
Without all that stuff - the stuff for which the actual football is often frankly just a pretext - I'm afraid @EFL the answer is nothing. I'm not looking forward to reading a list of all the other teams in the Ch'ship sorted into a random order. Not until football is really back.
