Quoted from GollyGTFC
The EFL starts 55 days after this season’s NL Promotion Final (Sunday 5th June).

To out that in context this season the Town players reported for preseason training on Friday 2nd July ahead of the season starting on Saturday 21st August (50 days later).


The play off finalists are always at a disadvantage when it comes to planning, recruitment and rest but that is nuts. I seem to recall Hurst saying pre-season was a week longer than usual this year so the winning play-off finalists can have a week in a caravan before reporting back for 6 weeks of pre-season training.

Won’t they be sick of the sight of each by the time pre-season starts?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

It's a problem I would love us to have though
