It'll mean three away games in succession for us too.

They should have left it until April.

It'll probably end up being April 23rd at the 3rd attemptOriginally Posted by BigFatPie

From the EFL Handbook
"Re-dating of Postponed Fixtures. Detailed guidance is available for Clubs here, however in summary:
the EFL will ask the Clubs to mutually agree a date in the first
instance;
if Clubs are unable to mutually agree a date, the EFL will set the
date of the fixture and will take into account the following considerations:
the provisions of the relevant EFL policy (as updated from time to
time);
the preferred dates of both the Home and Away Club and the rationale
for preferences;
Home and Away fixtures either side of the proposed dates;"
it continues.
I can't see that we would agree to play 3 away on the bounce?

Given our last few home performances, I could fully understand wanting to play 3 away on the trot

There is that of course.

With the risk of them having more fixtures PP''d due to the state of that pitch, they were likely under pressure to opt for the earliest date available to lessen the chances of having to play three games in a week in April.

That pitch should not be played on for the remainder of the season, absolute disgrace
