Its gonna be a big inconvenience for the Premier League to sort out away fixtures. What I mean is, unlike certain close clubs i.e. Liverpool/Everton, Utd/City, London Clubs etc... Our clubs would always travel along the same train line out of Wales, with the exception of probably Newcastle and Sunderland. I wouldn't be surprised to see the home and away fixtures alternate with Swansea's to avoid any flash points.

Can you imagine Cardiff & Swansea both having a game in the North West on a Saturday. Half would be dead by the time they hit Shrewsbury. :lol:

It's not most games are spread out over Saturday Sunday Monday. It's no different to Cardiff and Swansea being in the championship together

When you consider the teams travelling down to us and Swansea as well, that has to be taken in account. I just dont know how they organise it. Probably easier than im making out but to me its seems a mammoth task.

^^^^^^^^^^correct.

Swansea will play at home when we're away and vice versa - it's been that way even when we're in different divisions, like this year.

I think this explains it pretty well.

And its even more complicated than this when other sporting events takes place in the same area.

I would've thought it was more difficult when we were in different divisions to keep us apart than when we are in the same league?
