They should just build in the international breaks into league one. Lots of players called up and they need a break this time of the year

Who has been called up? Ruel?

Probably just loads of u21 kids.

Rule shouldnt exist at this level.

Shouldn't apply for Wales U19 or Greece U23s or whatever it is.

Great news.

Annoying that they refer to a 'rearranged tie'. Ties are cup matches, not regular League games. I hope someone's sacked over this.

Glad you picked up on this it really annoys me too. sacking is too good flog them I say.

There will be no home Saturday game for 5 weeks.

For the called up players, absolutely. It’s fantastic they have been recognised to represent their countries. However not so good for me because I can’t make midweek games due to work commitments. I’m damn tempted to pull a sickie next week to see the Port Vale game but I can’t.

Not bothered about the international callups, I couldn't make the Saturday game so this is super.

Feck Sake!! I've paid for flights and hotel and match tickets. To say I'm furious is an understatement!! What a load of bollocks!!

I see that Dagenham are at home that day. Might go to see them against Oldham, assuming neither team have a international in the squad for Andorra under 18's or something that day

The reverse fixture was one of the few to survive the international call ups.

Interesting , I wonder why . My best guess is the called up players were injured so it didn't matter .

I was hoping for a pleasing win on my birthday.

I’m ok with a deferral. Exeter are gonna be pushing hard to achieve the infamous 50-odd points. Rather we play them after they take their foot off the gas.

I’m taking the positive out of this. Go all guns blazing at the next 3 fixtures in the knowledge of a nice 13 day rest, with the possibility of a returning player by the time of the rearranged fixture.
