Johannesburg - The PSL are confident of avoiding the same fixture nightmare
they suffered last season after being handed the various CAF competition
dates in advance.
According to the football411 website, the Premiership came under plenty of criticism last term after
numerous domestic matches were forced to be postponed to accommodate
teams playing the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederations Cup.
However, PSL general manager Derek Blanckensee says he is
confident they can steer clear of any repeat in 2014/15, thanks to
African football's governing body providing them with an early
timetable.
"I suppose planning is the trick. The difficulty we have had
sometimes in the past is not getting dates well in advance," the GM
said.
"This time around fortunately they have released them ahead of time and we are able to plan for it.
"We are going to change these dates up front instead of what we did last season, which was to change them as we found out.
"It's quite a challenge, but we know how to do it. We will use midweek dates where we can."
