And so it begins...

[RLB's Beautiful Face]

The club have just announced that the game against Burton will be postponed. I really hope we don't have too many of these this season as I really believe that the ridiculous fixture pile-up was (part of) the reason why our season went off the rails last year.

We've too many international quality players in our squad

Double edged sword isn't it

If we play with a depleted squad and fail to win...…
If we postpone and struggle with fixture congestion...….

My annoyance is that it is a Saturday 3:00pm fixture that will become midweek which is rubbish for young kids and fans who live elsewhere

Grim as it is the Bury disgrace means we can shoehorn a game in there.

Technically two games there.

Possibly two more if Bolton go?

Bolton is the boxing day game
There's a few quid down the drain for the Club if that turns out to be a fixture-free day for us

Ouch.

That would actually have been a big drawer if they weren't in the ****.

the rest of the league will be playing their allotted fixtures for that date so there won't be an opportunity to play someone else.

Yeah I appreciate that mate but could use that week we’re we would have the spare time, the Tuesday after or whatever, so we aren’t forcing 4 games in a week into late season.

Ipswich will be below us if Bolton go, as their 5-0 will be nulled/cancelled. A big shame though surely these mutli millionaires could have helped Bury and Bolton, just kept them going to the end of the season. A friendly against Newcastle on boxing day would be good ! Steve would get a 'warm' reception. Sorry nads you are right give the team a rest.

Let’s ease our fixture congestion with a hotly contested derby, risking injuries galore.

Ok then brainiac.
