Kilcline Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I presume as it's their competition the EFL will allow them to postpone a league game to play the cup game - they won't have a game every midweek for the rest of the season, the only issue is if timing then has a knock on to our next round game, as if that can't be played on time and we're drawn against a team in Europe I'm not sure where the free midweek would be for them.

ponsaelius Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 (edited) They have a fixture next midweek, then we have two weeks with international break, then they have another midweek game. Then it's the next round. Can't see how it gets played even if they moved the venue tbh. Only solution I'd say would probably be postpone their league game against Morecambe on 22nd October I guess.

kingxlnc Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 This is a shame the thing you need after a loss is a game against lower opposition to get the confidence up and cobwebs out of your game would have been good runaround before Man City this weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRL Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Have a soft spot for Wimbledon and would be really sad for them to miss out on the game. Was using a friend’s second season ticket tomorrow, he’s gutted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 11 minutes ago, Colos Short and Curlies said: Is there a cut off for when they have to be able to fulfil the fixture before we get a bye? Looks to me that the only week they don't have a midweek fixture before the next round is the week of the 14th October which is between the internationals and the first premier league game back. We're playing a weakened team then Not a chance we’re playing during the International break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point actually. Alternative would be to play it at SJP but that would be a logistical challenge seeing as it's supposed to be tomorrow.

LiquidAK Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Playing at SJP and giving them all/a high portion of the gate receipts seems a fairly easy PR win. Logistically maybe difficult mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope currently in a tizzy coming up with a “Mitchell inbox flooded, dark clouds over SJP after bitter relationship takes new twist” article where he questions why Mitchell controls the weather/why doesn’t he control the weather?!? Howe remains cryptic. … and discloses that he hasn’t talked to Mitchell about this issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
