    Crewe have withdrawn tickets, for the Railway End, from sale to home supporters, so it looks like we are getting that end as well.

    Ridiculous to postpone it for the sake of a couple of U19 players. Personally I’m fuming with only a week to the game, for various personal reasons

    And with no more free Saturdays, it has to be played midweek :mad:

    Should just return all tickets and boycott the game.
    See how they like losing 1600x£25 of revenue.

    1,600 tickets sold since Tuesday. Match postponed Friday and now likely to be squeezed in 25th April due to Easter giving us 2 x short weeks.

    It’s an absolute disgrace!
    No way should a fixture be postponed because of U19 call ups.

    They've had 3 first team players called up:
    Lachlan Brook - Australia U23
    James Beadle - England U19
    Connor O'Riordan - Ireland U21

    Brook an Australian under 23 isn't even playing an International fixture, it's a European training camp!

    Well only Beadle and O’Riordan played last week.
    If the criteria is 3 players then where have they conjured Brook up from

    We could have ended up taking 2200 fans there. There will be a lot less on a Tuesday evening. Crewe are in no danger of going up or down, this postponement will have cost them thousands in lost revenue. Maybe they dont need the money!!!

    Perhaps the biggest surprise of all this is Crewe having internationals on any level

    This isn't good for us though, gives those teams around us an opportunity to get extra points which then puts extra pressure on us for the re-arranged fixture which will likely now be towards the very back end of the season.

    This now makes tomorrow & Tuesday even more important.

    If Crewe had 6 first team starters injured, they could not call the game off, but 3 youngsters called up to play in a babies game and a training camp is a joke.
    It now means our players will have to make a midweek trip, that is totally unnecessary.

    Or the flip side, is they all play and do not gain much of an advantage, Mansfield v Sutton, Stevenage v Salford, Swindon v Stockport Northampton are at Doncaster ,Carlisle go to Gillingham and Orient are at Hartlepool, some tough games there.

    I believe the Ireland under 21 squad was announced just a couple of days ago and the England under 19 squad today.

    It's only after a third first team player is called up that League One and Two Clubs can apply for a postponement.
