Hi folks
I am going away for 9 months and wanted to have a portable fixture list with me - marvelous I thought when I saw
this, but on Sunday I noticed that it wasn't right - Chelski were playing on Sunday, not Saturday.
I don't want to have to go through and check it if someone else has been here before - anyone noticed this or updated it? It also seems a bit dodgy that the start times are all very similar - not that this matters too much to me.

Hi Andy,
I created the fixture list you are talking about and I too noticed it was wrong on Sunday. I got the list about 6 weeks ago I suppose, maybe more, so maybe it was wrong at the time.
I have since created a page online which you can use to get just the fixtures for the teams you want. I will check the lists I have for that against the newest fixture list I can find and make sure it is all up to date. I got them from
http://www.sportinglife.com last time, I'll try somewhere else this time.
Sorry about that.
I'll post the link to the site when it's been checked
just as an aside, I noticed that even if I have a reminder for sat and another reminder set for sunday, when I import them into Outlook it groups them together in the calendar to a single Sat/Sun box. Can this be changed so that I have two boxes? is this maybe why all the fixtures appear on the sat?

firstly a big thanks for putting the work in in the first place - don't want to seem ungrateful for your time...
I know what you mean about the Outlook problem - I've just put a load of flights into my calendar and where they span a Saturday night for example and finish on the Sunday, they come up as an event on Sunday - not particularly useful.
This isn't the issue with the fixtures tho - if you look at the original CSV file it has the Chelski game on the 16th - Saturday.
Would be nice to be able to copy the data from one place rather than having to combine them from different team fixture lists..
I'll have a hunt and see if there's any way to do this easier maybe.
thanks

Blame Sky!
The problem is that Sky only choose the games they're going to show live a few weeks or months in advance. Then those games are rescheduled from the Saturday to Friday evening / Saturday lunch or evening / Sunday afternoon / Monday evening.
I don't know of a way to get, say, an email update so you know to change the fixtures.

Ahh that might explain things.
I have just checked the fixtures again and they have indeed listed the Liverpool v Chelsea game on Saturday 16 August but have since changed it to read:
Liverpool v Chelsea postponed
and added an entry for Sunday 17 August.
Not much I can do about that. Will just have to try and come up with a decent way to update the fixtures regularly.
If I had the time I would learn to program for the P800 and write an app that would get the fixtures from a known place on the net. Then either import them into the calendar or display them within the app. Sorry to say that my time is very much taken up with work though.

Is it worth holding a .csv online that can be modified?
Would really like to be able to keep on top of this.
