Love opening fixture with teams depleted?
I believe the answer is:
nonevent
'fixture with teams depleted?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'love opening' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'none' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'opening' becomes 'vent' (vent is a kind of opening).
'none'+'vent'='NONEVENT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nonevent that I've seen before include "Insignificant occasion" , "Uninteresting occasion" , "Anti-climactic or disappointing happening" , "Unimportant occurrence, not worth taking notice of" , "Occasion without significance" .)
