Fixture List Completed

The club has announced the complete fixture list for Kutonen. It can be seen in English here.

At this level of football a supporter cannot be too picky about the schedule, but that wont prevent me from commenting on it. The most obvious positive is that five of the eight new matches announced today are on a Friday or Saturday. Only one of them is an early match, and that one is very early with a noon kickoff in the Saturday August 11 match against Pelikassit. The three weeknight matches fall to the end of the season at the end of August and September, which does not surprise me, because after the summer weekend time slots on the fields in Tampere become much more popular, and being at the bottom of the barrel we apparently could not get any of those. The season will end at Virelä against Ikurin Vire on Saturday September 22. With the previous match on the Monday of the previous week, so if the last match proves to be an important one, there is almost two weeks of nervous preparation for it.

All in all it is a very positive schedule. I also like the fact that all our matches are either in Kaukajärvi or in Ikuri (Virelä), and the fact the matches are spread out quite evenly without any further fixture congestion towards the end of the season.
