Browsing through the Premier League plan for 2019 - 20, I notice that they have given them a two week break in early 2020. Is this the first step in having a full winters break and Summer Soccer in England/Wales ??

    No. I think it’s all to do with holding the World Cup in Dubai. I can’t recall the whys and wherefore, but it was planned a few years ago when Dubai won the bribery (my apologies), the bid, to host it.☹️

    I'd never do that, Trellis - I just putter along happily wink

     

    As for the World Cup, TTDA  - Think it might just be an excuse but we'll only find out in a further years time, when the next load of fixtures is published.

    { Thinks undecided , Might have to start a WCexit campaign  }

    The Dubai World Cup is going to run from Nov into Dec. Slap bang in the middle of most European league fixtures. It’s really well thought out by FIFA.🤬
