Anyone know why these died a death?

With 24 teams and the international breaks, the Championship has loads of fixtures to catch up with which results in loads of rubbish midweek away games. Would have thought attendances would be better if one of those rounds was played today...

Not sure but seem to remember Brighton were not allowed to play at home on August Bank Holiday same for other seaside football teams.

Maybe, but when did they used to do the league cup rounds? Especially seeing as it was 2 legs.

Even better, as then it would have to be one of our midweek away fixtures moved to a much more doable afternoon.

I remember it well. Although I do think the whole policy should be re-visited now.

Interesting stuff- not sure I enjoyed the footage of semi naked Leeds fans though.
