Blackpool (A)

Thought I’d get in there early, looking for 2/3 tickets for this if anyone can help 🦊

It won’t be played on the Saturday. International break. Be moved to a midweek

That rubbish, I was planing on building a golfing weekend around going.

[SemperEadem]

I will be one of the few this moves helps. Was away for the weekend date and can just get there and back on a train for the midweek move.

I hadn’t realised this and am now thoroughly disappointed! 
 

Does anyone know if they normally move to a midweek date close to the original date, or could it be later in the season? 

[Steven Paddy]

Unless we go out of the fa cup in the first round in November (which would mean we would have no fixture first week of December) then there are no free Saturdays for the Blackpool game to be rearranged to. And just realised this would require both Blackpool and Leicester going out in first round. So almost a certainty that Blackpool away gets moved to midweek

Be a struggle to fit in October as 2 of the midweeks are taken already with a potential for third subject to progression in the Carabao Cup. Wigan at home off as well the week before, and that game will be rescheduled first.

All the below likely to be moved for international fixtures

 

26th Sept Wigan Home

3rd Oct Blackpool away

14th Nov Bradford Home

20th March Huddersfield Home

Playing in the FA Cup first round.... another joy that had until now escaped my realisation.

Huddersfield is not during an international break.

 

Any cancellation and rearrangement of the Easter fixtures will prove problematic as we already have at least two midweek fixtures in April.

Plus an EFL Trophy final appearance would throw another spanner in the works

I wouldn't worry about that.

You realise the competition I’m talking about? 
 

Autowindscreens/Papa Johns/Bristol Street. Birmingham made the final in their recent L1 season

I do and I don't think you need to hold that date in the diary based on where we are.

Losing the two Easter fixtures would be crap. Wimbledon away has always been a must do this season for me. Bank Holiday Monday would have been perfect.

When are we likely to find out if this is being moved ?

It won’t be officially confirmed until two weeks before international break begins but only one of either clubs needs three internationals to call it off. 
 

As its stands, Hamza, Page, Alves, Reid, Souttar, Coulibaly, Aluko, Cullen all appeared recently for their countries 

Edited 31 July by CosbehFox

[lestuhfox]

Can only request to call it off you have 3 international call ups u19s upwards.

[jstclair1]

do we know when this is likely to be moved to ? just thinking for work

The club unusually communicated this quite well today basically it can be moved up to 5 days before the scheduled date. Ridiculous as it punishes traveling supporters enormously. International selections should be made 28 days but hey it’s only supporters who get screwed over.

[lcfcdan11]

Looks like based on transfer activity that we are eligible to appeal to call this fixture off with all the below almost certainly getting called up.

Harry Souttar 

Bobby Decordova Reid

Louis Page (u 19s)

Tommy Watson (u21s)

 

Especially with the recent additions contributing to a good squad depth, is there a chance that we wouldn’t appeal this . If I was RM I’d rather play Blackpool and Wigan with a few players out as opposed to have them as mid week fixtures further down the line creating busy schedules.

thankfully since the international break is 2 weeks, we should get a fair amount of notice for this getting postponed

What’s to say Blackpool and Wigan don’t have enough players to call it off? 

[Smiffy Fox]

So I’m assuming that tickets will go on sale next week. Does anybody know if the game gets rescheduled if you can get a refund? Can’t find any information regarding this.

They usually just wait until it’s completely confirmed to avoid this exact situation.
