It depends on what day new years fall's on. In '94 it was the same, New Years eve was a saturday so a full fixture list was played that day.

They have games on Monday this year, so thats 4 games over the xmas period, which is the first time I can remember that since the premiership went to 20 teams.

When the premiership came about, the plan was to have an 18 team league. The league went to 20 in 95/96. There is not a chance in hell of it going to 18.
