Potential fixture change (hopefully)

[mattitouk]

More likely is if we win tonight and draw another team who are out of the fa cup, the next round of the Checkatrade will be scheduled for the Saturday instead of midweek.

Currently round 3 of the checkatrade is scheduled for Monday 9th January, so unless the competition authorities move it forward 2 days, it seems unlikely.

Slightly off topic, strangely I've noticed that whilst most teams are playing tonight or tomorrow night, Cheltenham's match V Leicester U21's has been re-scheduled for Tuesday 10th January (due to european cup fixtures), effectively meaning they would be a whole round behind almost everyone else come full time.

No point approaching the club until after December 13th, the date of the Peterborough v Notts County replay.

Going to have to wait til the 20th now as the replay has been selected for live TV, I reckon that puts to an end any chance of re-arranging a game at such short notice and over the Xmas period if Peterborough lose.

Didn't realise Leicester City U21 played in any European competition...

If Peterborough lose we don't need to re-arrange a match - we play them!

Peterborough play Notts County tonight. As stated earlier, a Peterborough win will see us without a fixture on 7th Jan.

Peterborough 2-0 up already.

Looks like we might have a day off and a bit more recovery time for the injured guys! :thumbsup:

No wonder they lost.

 

[Shrimpersfan]

Well that's ruined my plans for 7th Jan. How long until they normally arrange the rearranged fixture?

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Thats a real shame,we would have taken a big following on a saturday.Unlikely we would take many mid week.

Up side gives Nile more time to recover

There's still a chance for Stuart W's dream of a Coventry fixture change, from a Tuesday night to a Saturday afternoon.

If high flying League One side Fleetwood Town win against Lowly Championship side Bristol City on Saturday (everything is possible in the FA Cup!..as we all know from the Freddy Eastwood / Tilly era) we could see another possible fixture change change on January 28th.

Although it wont really solve the Peterborough match though, as the Posh game would equally mean a probable mid week game still although. (Can't see them pulling off the same spirit as we did at Samford Bridge that day!).

Either which way, let's not focus on other results, we should just focus on our ours.

I don't think so. Coventry away at Northampton on the 28th.

 

[AndyT]

Ironically, the Peterborough United game could be played on the 28th, if MK Dons progress to the FA Cup 4th Round (which seems highly unlikely, given their fixture).

i really don't want Coventry changed, booked hotel for this one!
