[ŽižkovClaret]

What they call a week here where you play 3 games weekend, midweek then weekend consecutively

I have an FC Nurnberg supporting friend who advised/explained similar with regard to Germany.

Do they never play midweek games in Czechia?

[ŽižkovClaret]

It isn't the normal schedule, no. Sometimes you will get cup games midweek, often at KO times like 3pm or 4pm which can be a pain, but normally its just 5pm Wednesday 1 or 2 times a season.

Not the normal schedule here, either. How many have we had this season - 6 including League Cup?

If Czech teams reached the later stages of Europe, I dare say they'd be playing "English weeks" a lot more.

Just Plzen holding out this season with their 2nd leg on Thursday.

The Czech domestic Cup is treated with nothing short of disdain really, especially in regards to fans being able to turn up without leaving work early. Especially in winter months, ties are often played early afternoons, largely to remove the need, and cost, for floodlights.

Even at QF stages, they are very poorly attended games, unless they happen upon a derby match, despite it being a route into Europe.

It is a lot more the normal schedule in the EFL, however, with 46 games to fit in.......

Good news. Watching a match is far better than watching a training session. Let them play! Even if they do find it's a bit like work!

We'll have a lot of 'English Weeks' next season.

Correct, and the problem is they clash with Champions League games that are on the telly.

But we'll still be on the Turf.
