Doncaster - Yeovil

[Wilf]

Last night's Evening Echo (if Dick writes it, then it MUST be true!)said that if the Doncaster/Yeovil game wasn't played, then the two sides would be asked to try again on Thursday.<p>It would seem, then, that both teams have a slot in their programme for the replay to be over with before the weekend, so WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? <img src="graemlins/images/icons/confused.gif" border="0" alt="" /> <p>The big boys of the Conference obviously don't fancy midweek travel and late nights before a school day, but are quite prepared to take a major advantage from the fact that WE will now probably have to do the round trip on a weeknight, fans and players alike. Don't they think they can beat us simply with superior skills?<p>Come on you two, get it out of the way on Thursday and give us a pop at the weekend, when the all-important support of the Yellow Army will have more chance to assemble in force.

Yeah i must say i agree with Wilf this fixture has been hanging in the air for way to long now and when your a team like Canvey you have other things to worry about as well like the league for instance. <p>What difference does it make Doncaster/Yeovil if we beat you at a weekend or during the week. At least at a weekend we can bring more yellow army supporters to enjoy the occasion and just think of the extra money that will be gained at the turn styles.<p>Pages,

Just a thought - what happens if the replay is postponed on Saturday ? I don't believe the forecast for Doncaster is too bad for the next few days, but of course I don't know what state the pitch is in (not as bad as Yeovil's I'm sure - there was an interesting article on their website about the problems they've had with it). I know this scenario is unlikely, but just wondered if the powers that be had made any provision for it...(even more unlikely I know).
