Out of interest, wonder how many AVFTT'ers can't now make the Cods game. I have a business trip and so am being denied although my ticket will be used.
 
Exiles that usually attend as usual are the biggest losers - my lad's in Chester but works in Wrexham. Tackling the M6 restrictions is a bloody nightmare.
 
It's a game I should be able to get to now if they're still selling tickets at kick off. But it's league one and it should be on a Saturday at 3pm as planned. That or all domestic football stops for internationals as a rule and clubs factor that in when they map out their fixture list with each other.

International fixture cancellations stop people buying season tickets. Just can't rely on the fixtures being played at weekends anymore.

Absolute tosh, People buy season tickets because the cost of a season ticket is much cheaper than buying a ticket on a match by match basis. Every season has midweek fixtures both home and away and at most we are talking 3 games being postponed for an international fixture. And that's only if it happens to be a weekend where the opponents happen to have internationals.

And will the authorities pay us compensation for the lost revenue?

If they were bringing 20 to the Saturday game, there might only be 15 there midweek. Is the lost £100 going to be compensated? Is it thump.

The main reason they swapped local games on midweek to Saturdays was so clubs maxed revenues.
The long distances matches are now Tues/Weds.
 
Should have waited to buy my ticket but bought one at the same time as the Pompey game.
I don’t do the midweek games any more for reasons previously(age, travel distance and late night driving and a promise to my wife ) explained and so I have to almost certainly miss out and see if I can get a refund on Saturday or the Wycombe game and then pay TTV,presuming it will be available.
Nothing BFC can do about it but nevertheless really annoying especially with it being a Derby game.
Can’t really justify an overnight stay unfortunately but still considering just in case I have a change of mind.
 
Im an exile . I’ll be making every effort to go .

Might be the last time we ever play them .

Attendance got to be at least 2,000 less than if played on a Saturday.

Unless we are flying and big chance of playoffs.
 
Not having another home game this month after Saturday isn't great. It makes April interesting though - if we're still in the hunt.

Depending on how close to and on which side of the park then you are about a 10 to 20 minute walk from our house😂…might have to walk fast to do it mind you.
We are Cheadle Hulme not far from Bramhall Park Road.

Perhaps we can arrange a meet up some time for a chat and a beer😂 or even a walk in the park which me and Mrs Bleach like to do.I’m the one wearing the Blackpool Scarf😉

Do you get to Bloomfield Road often.I manage most Saturday or daytime games like hopefully Wycombe and have my ticket already for Pompey on Saturday ( South Stand as I like to sit not stand🙄)but usually set off so I can park up near the Bloomfield Pub by 12 30 then stroll down to the prom passing the ground unless it’s peeing down.

You’ll be lucky to catch him on one of the rare occasions he’s in the country Bleach
 
Won't be able to make it on a Tuesday night. Was heading up Friday night and home after the game Sat. Not taking 2 days A/L for Fleetwood at home.

Given that the primary sources of income for League 1 clubs are gate receipts commercial revenue and owner inputs, it makes no sense to hit the first two of these by postponing games into midweeks.
