Paper round days, them. Fulham made the back page of most of the tabloids on the Monday following their opener.

Remember going down to watch Cas v Fulham. They had a cas based player playing for them and he was waiting outside the ground for us with a huge wad of "complimentary" tickets. Don't think any Cas fans actually paid in that day.

L1 clubs were crazy to agree to this fixture, they should have known they would have difficulty raising a team with holidays booked months previously.

This is the time when most players have booked a well-earned holiday. The vast majority of Championship/League 1 clubs simply can't afford to pay the players to cancel those holidays.

Leon Pryce raised this issue when the play off game was first announced. Seems no one bothered to listen.....
