Sky released the first fixtures of March for the TV schedule last week, 5 weeks prior to the game. Aren't they supposed to release the dates for all March fixtures at the same time? Very annoying as I'm trying to arrange my grandsons first visit.

@SKY1992bf I expect the Premier League have been dictated to by their Sky Sports paymasters as to when they make their picks

Personally I believe the police priorities should be the main factor in deciding at least any times certain games can't be played and then the broadcasters should then just make do with that.

That makes a great point.
That weekend, England play Ireland in the 6 nations at Twickenham.
In the premiership, arsenal, Chelsea, crustal palace, and West ham all have home games

Indeed the problem is this disagreement they have that delays things just makes it really hard for fans (away fans in particular) to actually make plans and book travel and perhaps overnight stays somewhere.
The PL really need to get a grip with these fixture announcements . they are meant to be trying to show the government they don't need an external regulator but situations like this just goes to show they do need one. The fact they arbitrarily decided to change the 6 week notice down to 5 weeks and today have missed that deadline is completely ludicrous
