Subscribe To Or Download Fixtures To Calendar

If you use calendar software on your computer, PDA or iPod, you might want to able to view the fixtures using the same software. The Purley fixtures list is available in several formats which are detailed below.

Most modern applications such as Outlook 2007, Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird/Lightning, and Google Calendar, allow you to subscribe directly to online (remote) calendars. This is generally the best option as whenever the schedule changes (or a new season's list is produced) they will be automatically shown in your calendar.

For older applications such as Outlook 2003 and below, Yahoo! Calendar and Palm PDA you should be able to download the fixtures to manually load into your calendar software.

Subscribe

Please set your subscription to be read-only, and refresh at most once a day.

Depending on your setup, the simplest way to subscribe is to click the green iCal icon below:
