Zappa 0 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Just a reminder for everyone that the new SPL season will have an earlier start this year and will now start on the 23rd of July. The SPL Board have announced that the 2011/12 Clydesdale Bank Premier League Season will start on Saturday 23 July 2011. An earlier start date is an important part of the SPL�s strategic plan for Scottish football and should mean that SPL clubs involved in European qualifiers in July enter those games better prepared. A July start date will also reduce the number of mid-week games in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League during the winter months. When determining the start date for season 2011/12, the SPL Board decided on a protocol that allows clubs to participate in summer tournaments, whilst also ensuring that all clubs and fans reap the benefits of an earlier start date for the season. SPL clubs can request that one fixture early in the season be postponed to take part in such tournaments. As an example, the SPL Board has given permission for Celtic to participate in the Dublin Super Cup over the weekend of 30 and 31 July. http://www.scotprem.com/content/default.asp?page=s2&newsid=9984 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
