Even though the League had yet to announce exact dates and times, people were already complaining.ĭecember 31 sees the annual San Silvestre Vallecana race take place in Madrid.
First of all was the issue of playing such a big game New Year’s Eve. There were a number of issues with the tie. The game that raised the most concern was that of Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid, a Madrid derby. One would think that after so many years of complaining that fans would be happy but Spain is different and since the dates were announced there has been no end to objections and arguments. Then suddenly another fixtures list was announced and a match day, which would see teams play on December 30/31, raised eyebrows. When the fixture list for the season was first announced there were no games scheduled to be played at Christmas. With that issue sorted the powers-that-be in Spain sought other ways in which it could compete against England and the Christmas schedule idea was brought up and, like always in La Liga, it wasn’t done easily. That issue looks to have finally been addressed and from next season a new collective broadcasting rights deal looks set to start.
