You seem to be pitching a PhD proposal . A lot of interesting data, that does seem to indicate that referees may have differing relationships with the home and away sides. Probably still not causation in terms of the outcome of matches, though? (I am no statistician). I wonder what changes when matches are played at neutral venues?

Well we now only have one Home match between now and the 12th of June, as well as 5 away games + Summer Bash.

If we can push through that period with strong results then we have a decent run in with 5 of our last 7 games at home.

Is the LSV pitch being relayed again as we have so many away fixtures bunched together?

Wouldn't mind the throw-away turf, if it is!! My lawns are rubbish - and I would love to watch the LSV grass grow, all day long!

It gets six weeks off every season for scarifying and re-seeding. The price we have to pay for having the best pitch in the league.
