Premier League fixture list was a hoax

A supposed leaked Premier League fixture list published online over the weekend has been confirmed as a hoax. The fixture lists for the top flight and all three Football League divisions appeared online with separate PDF files to reveal the ‘schedule’ of every one of the 92 clubs.

But it seems that someone has just had far too much time on their hands with the Premier League and Football League confirming the fixture lists were a hoax.

A Premier League spokesman said: “We understand the excitement that a new set of Premier League fixtures holds to the fans and media.What has been put into the public domain over this last weekend is a hoax.We would encourage all fans and media to wait for the official release on 15 June.”

The fake fixture list had West Ham playing Hull City at home on the first game of the season at the Olympic Stadium on 13th August followed by Bournemouth away  on 20th August. The schedule had us playing Spurs at home on April fools day which should have been an indication it was a joke.
