Unless it was Stockley who was playing in an international, I can't think of any other player that would be that crucial for us to postpone at the moment (maybe Johnson). It comes back to bite you when you have to play Saturday - Tuesday - Saturday in February with just 7k in the ground.

"don't 'think'"

DO - maybe, but I don't all countries have announced their squads yet

Yep; which basically points towards the unfairness of some sides being able to get a postponement due to three players being called up (at any level, so could be an U21 nowhere near the first team squad) and us having to play a game with 1 or 2 main players missing. Think Charlton might have got one last season for 3 call-ups, two of whom had played a total of 1 game between them)

Obviously nor us as if it were, Camb U game would also be off.

So basically unless some of our forwards get fit soon we play in form Cambridge away with just Stockley fit and available amongst the forwards

Stevenage's website has announced both our game and also their other game (on the 26th) against Sheff Weds are off due to call-ups

Grenada play Cuba on 25/9, St Kitts and Nevis on 29/9, Bonaire on 3/10 and Bonaire in the return game on 6/10

a4e - I'd be surprised if Cambridge is postponed. Think this one is due to Stevenage's internationals. I don't think either us or Cambridge will get 3 call-ups.

They have some obscure internationals playing for the likes of Trinidad. If Cambridge goes ahead likely Hippo won’t be playing as Grenada have several games

Apart from the games at Plymouth and Oxford (both at 12.30pm rather than 3pm), we have previously stated that no more games before January 9th will be moved for broadcast. So that would just potentially mean Cambridge once all the international squads have been announced. So, putting Wigan to one side that will mean just four games would have been moved for broadcast (Bromley, MK, Plymouth and Oxford). Other games that have been broadcast (Huddersfield, Burton, plus Cambridge 26/9, Mansfield 20/10 and Blackpool 14/11*) all kicked off/will kick-off at their correct times (they just fall under the selection criteria for broadcast)

The fact we would have played only third home game at home by 24th October is deeply frustrating. I would be interested to know how much revenue we lose comparing Tuesday vs Saturday - £20k? Also, who is cancelling the game? Stevange not saying whether it is them but who the hell do they have that plays for an international team?

There is a cutoff date and time for countries to announce their squads, then a period of time (1 day?) for clubs to request PP on back of this. Obviously if you have 3 called up early, can request early. Unlikely either we or Camb U will have 3 called up.

A4E - I think there's a window of up to a week before the game to request a postponement.

I'm getting used to Saturdays off. Have cancelled Sky but Talksport do a very similar thing to Soccer Saturday. And occasionally there is a match on terrestial e.g. this Sat lunchtime.

So if Stevenage game is postponed, does that mean the Cambridge game probably will be too, or would that have had to be announced at the same time…?

Think you’re right CW but it’s a good question. Can quietly assume that the money we make per season via the TV deal outweighs any lost revenue from fans not being able to make it. Season ticket holders already paid etc. Probably a bigger impact on away fan numbers but not significant against the whole gate.

Bucks-no think you just have to absorb as part of the Tv deal

Minimum Six of our remaining 20 home league fixtures are now midweek!

Am sure this has been asked many times before and guess the answer is ‘no’, but do we get any form of compensation for the postponement of fixtures like Stevenage? Would presume attendance + matchday revenues are significantly lower for (rearranged) non-Saturday games…

Airsy, i was talking about Palace !

Hash - Stevenage or Palace?

What a farce

So, if the format follows as with Stockport last season, Stevenage will still be a TV game (as all IB weekend games are live)

Stevenage game off on 3rd Oct
