Alan Hardy has revealed that Notts County have complained to the Football League over their fixtures this season.
The Magpies have been handed long midweek away trips to Yeovil Town and Exeter City this season, while Boxing Day will bring a trip to Morecambe followed by an away day at Swindon Town.
Notts manager Kevin Nolan has already criticised the schedule as βscandalousβ and Magpies owner Hardy has followed up with an official complaint.
βThe Football League have got it wrong,β he told the Nottingham Post.
βI think first of all, the long trips such as Exeter, like we have already had this season, should be on a Saturday.
βPeople will at least make a day or weekend of it. They will set off early in the morning, stop for some lunch, get to the ground early and prepare for the match.
βWeβve already complained to the Football League about it and especially our Christmas fixtures.
βChristmas is dreadful for our fans. Fans shouldnβt be returning home as late as they will when we play Morecambe on Boxing Day.
βTheyβve got that one badly wrong. Boxing Day fixtures, in my view, should traditionally be reserved for derbies.
βCould you have imagined playing Mansfield or Lincoln? The gates we have had for those games already this season would have been boosted by another couple of thousand at least.
