Manchester sport, ground by ground

Section

Fixtures and the calendar

Football fixture scheduling looks like a published list and works like a negotiation. This section covers how a season’s calendar is built, who can move a kick-off time once it is printed, and what happens to the rest of the fixtures when one match is rearranged. Alongside it sits the archive of the 2008–09 Manchester World Sport programme, event by event.
