Tickle, Magennis, Shaw, Godo, Chambers, Asgaard and Adeeko, Jordan Jones didn't get called up and neither did HughesMatch cancelled against Charlton. How many and who of our players away. No official announcement, so I am guessing Sam, Mcguiness, Assagard, Hughes, Adeeko
There are 9 of the 12 fixtures from this weekend called off due to one of the sides involved having 3 international call ups.
If it was only 1 or 2 games then i'd say fair enough but the majority of L1 fixtures have to be rescheduled every international weekend - it's just stupid why can't we just have an international break built in like the Championship.
Rearranging fixtures is not in the best interest of the clubs or the fans - so why not just avoid this issue in the first place?
That's probably not a bad idea, might give teams not affected, chance to move games from midweek to a Saturday. For example this weekend, if Charlton and Burton didn't have sufficient internationals to call off games and they were due to play each other in a midweek, they could have played it this weekend. More fans turn up, better for all concerned
Why not just have international games in midweek then no postponed games. Why not call games off for senior games only or let the junior games be played midweek?There are 9 of the 12 fixtures from this weekend called off due to one of the sides involved having 3 international call ups.

Like everything nowadays there won't be any compromise like this shite decision of having five substitutions.

The calendar needs tweaking. Pointless scheduling league fixtures for this break. Certainly the first two autumn ones they could use them to schedule some papa johns fixtures - higher attendances than midweek fixtures and would give more credibility to the tournament. The November one I would use for the FA Cup 1st round and I’d make the 2nd round a midweek fixture. This March one then have the Papa Johns final.
Unfortunately the new TV deal kicks in next season which will mean even more fixtures moved from a Saturday. I’m not sure the marginal tv revenue uplift will make up the shortfall for lost commercial and ticket sale revenues for L1/2 clubs.
