    Agree. That would seem to be the most sensible thing to do.

    Still 45 minutes to go but looking at the first halves of our rivals it's looking good,
    Plymouth beating Forest Green
    Exeter and Cheltenham drawing
    Northampton beating Crewe
    Carlisle beating Port Vale
    Salford holding Swindon.

    Win our games in hand and we’d go 3 points clear at the top, not bad all in all.

    I expect Plymouth and Swindon to end up in the promotion places. Not convinced of the staying power of any of our rivals.

    Wouldn't be surprised if both Scunthorpe and Walsall sneak play off places

    I'm usually wrong though!!

    Intrigued at why you think Scunthorpe and Walsall will be up there given current positions?

    Bring Doyle back and sit him on the bench starve Swindon a girl scorer. Top three looks good.

    They have decent squads and with around 90 points still available, they are quite capable of getting 60

    Gambin was an unused sub for Malta.

    Harriott played 85 minutes and scored a goal for Guyana.

    There is a feed in Spanish from El Salvador which suggests that Comley was in the starting 11. https://us.as.com/us/2019/11/17/futbol/1573951856_841232.html

    Rescheduled for Tuesday 21st Jan

    Absolute p!ss take. Macc game should've stayed tonight, and the Colchester game rescheduled for this Saturday (as Colchester don't have a cup game either)

    Shambles

    Yes got to agree but it could get even worse if Colchester get through to the next round of the leasing .com trophy then it is moved again to Feb my suggesting is have a total ban on this game, that’s if it ever gets played.

    For the avoidance of doubt and to assist those who may want to book transport/accommodation; “If Colchester were to progress in the Leasing.com Trophy, the match would once again be rescheduled to Tuesday, February 4”. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/18061701.bradford-will-now-face-colchester-start-new-year/

    So once again the average supporter is left with some degree of uncertainty. Do you book leave from work on 21/1/2020 only to find it has been altered. No late night train back and a good four and a half hour journey to the Bradford area!

    I have Two tickets for this game, needless to say they are going back to the City ticket office.
    Once again sacked this game off.
    Been bitten twice booking early.
    I'll see what the weather's like before committing to buying a Carlisle away ticket.

    I've just posted my ticket back to City, for a refund, as well. I've also given up on this match.

    I am sure some ‘completists’ will want to go and a few who are within an hour travel, but I expect a very low turn out. The weather can turn very quickly and although it may well be fine for the match to go ahead, travel can easily be disrupted at that time of the year and 210/220 miles can be a hell of a drive, overnight in January!

    Made my mind up not to bother with this game when it was postponed for international duties. I will be retuning my tickets for a refund. Let Colchester miss out on bumper pay day from a strong city support. They will be the hard core who go to all games but they will miss out on a good following.

    not all will agree but this game should be boycotted on principle.
