I suspect they are known to someone at the SPL already but I'm not sure why they're not released till later.

My reasoning behind this is the decision from Hibs to "opt-out" of a fixture on Sat 06.08.11 in favour of a friendly against Sunderland at ER.

Imagine Rod agreeing to "opt-out" then discovering that we should have been home Hearts that day (which will then be switched to a Wed night). The loss of revenue would give him some concern?

Maybe I simply don't understand these new-fangled business ideas but I thought a bird in the hand etc may still apply.

From what I've heard the fixtures have been generated with Hearts starting the season at home to Celtic. Could be a load of ***** though

shelic are playing in Dublin 30th july,that could be their opt out week.
since hibs & huns both playing friendlies 6th Aug would be sensible to have them play each other 30th july
