Re-arranged fixtures

[Fleetbabe]

This has probably been asked before in recent times, but what are the dates for the re - arranged fixtures against Woking and Farnborough?

[David Holden]

You are right it has been asked before.

 

Have you considered checking any of the club's websites before asking?

[Fleetbabe]

Sorry, have been busy trying to catch up on work I missed having 2 weeks off school with a fractured jaw David. I do apologise, I will check more thoroughly in future.

[Fleetbabe]

Why though, do we play 4 fixtures in 8 days? Look:

 

Morecambe - 9th April

Farnborough - 12th April

Woking - 14th April

Stevenage - 16th April

 

Surely this would run the players into the ground?

Would of been 3 to play but the FAT replay meant we had to re-sched the Woking game... shame that if you do well in a trophy, your season has to suffer...! Still, we got 19 players to choose from now, so the lads should be OK..! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

It's still a hell of a lot of football to play in one week though, isn't it?

[Number 8]

Yup, it is...!!

I played on Saturday (for my pub team) and I am feeling it today...!! Christ knows how the lads will feel after so many games on the bounce..!! But saying that, they are probably a little bit fitter than me.. (and younger..).!!!

Unless you have an alternative idea that allows us to complete our fixtures by April 23rd (the last day of the season), considering that every Tuesday is already taken by a fixture, then we haven't got a lot of choice!

th April is vacant, FF !! Like I said before, why couldnt Farnborough have been moved to 5th April, and Woking 12th April ??

 

It isnt a major issue given our mid table obscurity for the season - if we had been close to a play off spot, or needed points to avoid relegation, it could have had a detrimental effect.

[FleetFanatic]

Oh yes, I noticed 5th April is vacant when adding the April matches to the prediction league forum.

The reason April the 5th had to kept open is because that was the date we were due to play Morecambe, Morecambe playBurton Albion on the twelth so a rearrangement could not be to April the 12 for the Morcambe game. All I can say is that it must be too late to rearrange things now.

The Morecambe match is Saturday April 9th and has never been any other date. It would have to have been rearranged had we beaten Bishop's Stortford.
