SO now we have the Champions Cup draw – or do we? We know which teams are in which group, but with the format this year (and that’s another story) we only play each team once either home or away.
Who we play at home and who we play away can make a very big difference to the result, yet there is no openness about this decision.
Surelythisshouldbepart of the public draw. Instead we get a statement that fixtures will be announced in due course. Surely something as important to the competition is not being left to the convenience of the broadcasters.
