The football fixture's in Spain, work a bit differently to the English league. While the fixtures are allocated at the start of the season, each game is given a weekend for each game. The exact date and day is not confirmed until normally five or six days before the game.
Even then its a safe bet to check on the day, before leaving home, as i found two weeks ago. The Malaga game had been scheduled for Sunday at 18.00 kick off. On the Saturday that was the information on both Malaga CF and the liga websites. When I checked on Sunday, the game had been move back an hour to 17.00!
Needless to say, that while we arrived knowing the revised timing, there were many latecomers throughout the first half. The game was allegedly re scheduled to avoid coverage of the Brazilian F1 Grand Prix, although finishing half hour after the race started didn't really help out much. Neither did showing the start of the grand prix on the screens in the ground, for fifteen minutes of the second half.
