Probably a silly question, but why is the L1 season ending a week earlier than the rest?

It’s been a regular occurrence in recent seasons,it’s to do with the Sky TV contact I believe.
All the excitement of the last day of the EFL spread over 2 weekends.

Probably somehow linked to the World Cup?

Do Leagues One and Two have different Bank Holidays to the Championship?

No it just means that the normal day for playing the final, Bank Holiday Monday, isnt happening, so they had to move one of them to the weekend before.

Which is why it's dangerous to put too much faith in games in hand, points in the bag are what counts!

Indeed. To mangle the song from Oliver,

"In this game, one thing counts. You need points, large amounts"

Lets hope we can pick the pockets of the Cheltenham defenders.

While it's frustrating that 2 wins in a row haven't moved us further up the table there is a bit of a gap starting to open up to the teams below. Unless we slump badly you'd think that only Salford and Crawley have a realistic chance of catching us.
