1st home match moved

[Royals and Racers]

match at home to leeds is now on Sunday 16th August KO 3 pm- this is because Leeds are on TV in a capital one cup match on Thursday 13th August.

[Green]

Sensible decision, or a right PITA do you think Royals and Racers?

I'm surprised the Championship has to give way for the Capital One cup, but I suppose fixture congestion being what it is these days we just have to suck it up.

Leeds on the telly, now there's a surprise

Good point, it should be moved, RFC should have asked SWFC about moving it before agreeing to Leeds' request....

There is a 48 hour rule. Leeds playing Thursday evening and then at 3pm on Saturday is under 24 hours. Us playing on Sunday at 3pm and then Tuesday evening is more than 48 hours, therefore we have no right to request that it is moved. We can ask but unless Sheffield Wednesday and the FL agree there is nothing we can do.

So the fact it's 50 hours or so between one ending and the next beginning for Reading means we'll get lumbered, strikes me it should be a 72 hour rule unless both sides playing each other are in the same position.

Sheffield Wednesday match now put back 24 hours

You have your wish, Wednesday are being nice to us.......

[Silver Fox]

I land from my holibobs at about 7am on the 16th, so I was missing the Leeds game, now I'd just be foolish to go

[Pepe the Horseman]

Now that the Sheff Weds game has been moved, will our game against MK Dons be moved as well? Surely we can't be expected to play Wednesday then Saturday?

Agreed, think they should have verified with MK Dons before asking SWFC.....

[Kitsondinho]

So because Leeds are on TV the previous Thursday, I now can't go to the closest away game to me!! I go away on that Wednesday and was looking forward to seeing Wednesday on the Tuesday!! Hope Sky are happy!!

[Green]

Off anywhere nice, Kitsondinho
