THE 2024-25 season will be a season like no other in the English Football League.
Anyone seeking further confirmation of that fact should glance at the opening weekend of fixtures. Just three clubs in Yorkshire - the League Two contingent of Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers and Harrogate Town - will kick off at the customary time of 3pm on Saturday, August 10. It promises to be a sign of things to come. Sheffield United and Barnsley are both in action earlier on Friday night, while Sheffield Wednesday open up on Sunday afternoon.
By November 1, they should know selections until the first weekend in March. So while fans of the county's clubs were busy jotting key dates in their diaries following Wednesday morning's fixture unveiling, expect plenty of amendments. One date likely to be moved is the first Steel City derby between Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday at Bramall Lane on Saturday, November 9. On the same day, another South Yorkshire derby sees Barnsley welcome Rotherham United.
