The FA and Football League have informed me that they hold the
"copyright and all other rights in the fixture list". Since they
want nigh on £300 for the right to print a series of dates and
names, I've decided to remove anything that could reasonably be deemed
to infringe on their rights in that area. I strongly dispute anyone's
claim to intellectual property in what amounts to a collection of
"miscellaneous facts or mere items of press information", but I have
neither the time nor the money to take this fight to court. I leave
it to the reader to form their own opinions on the rights and wrongs
of a large organisation issuing legal threats to not-for-profit
websites and individuals who have been supporting the game and
promoting it in an entirely positive way. If you want to see a full
list of who we'll be playing when, I suggest you use the
BBC's fixture list, which is well-presented,
any-browser compatible and fast-loading.
