I thought the same, is it going to be an international weekend perhaps ?

The are no premier league matches between 20 March or 1 April either, must be an international break - is it the euro play offs?
Edit: No those are in November

Bloody FIFA! I really enjoy the Easter w/kend games. Shirley another break with tradition that the supporters wouldn't back, if we were given the choice. Usually one of the only away games I can get to, as I work Saturday mornings.
Barber out!

That was one of the first things I looked for, as it's the time my family come down for a home game. Pretty disappointing. As is the last game v Boro.
I think that's the usual time for the International break, the trouble is Easter is a moveable feast.
Will be a boring long weekend w/o any football. I blame Jesus.

Might have to arrange an Amex tour that weekend, so it would feel like I'd had a football fix of sorts.

Seeing as the Christian calendar for Easter was set a considerable time before any FIFA deliberations, I can only think that FIFA are proving that they are not favouring that particular religion. Also Sky TV will be in meltdown.
I think this situation happened once before but it did not affect us as we were in the lower tiers at the time.

I can't ever remember not having games over the Easter period. In fact it only seems that comparatively recently that we haven't had a game on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday (and not just the 2 matches as seems the norm nowadays)
It's the bishops at the council of Nicaea who are to blame. Bishops out

Germany v England is around that time, I think.

Alternatively a trip over Easter to Germany, which does not seem so bad.
It was the Emperor who in 325 made the final decision not the bishops

Good our results over the Easter period are normally awful , lost both games over Easter last season, so might be a blessing
