    They are in the fa cup 4th round after beating Stockport.
    4th round day is 28th January so our game is getting moved.

    Cheers, didn't consider this and was only looking at train tickets yesterday. Let's shelve that idea.

    I find it bizarre in this day & age why the FA Cup still takes priority over league games. Why should the league schedule get disrupted for a cup game? Just play the cup game midweek. Baffling

    The FA Cup should always take priority for me and the final should also be moved back to 3 o clock in a Saturday with a full mornings build up. Simpler times but what a day Cup Final day used to be.

    Much easier to rearrange a league game than a cup game.

    The window to re-arrange a cup game is far too small. Something has to give, and it makes sense that it should be the league games that can always be re-arranged weeks after if required.

    Yes, thinking about it the turnaround time point of view does actually make sense

    This might be the least baffling thing I've heard today.

    An FA Cup tie against a decent side is worth far more money than a league game against Walsall.

    A better idea would be not to schedule league games on FA Cup weekends. That way it’ll be a blank weekend for everyone unless they can organise a game that previously been postponed with another club not involved in the cup.

    or even bring forward a scheduled Tues game to a weekend

    We could do with Getting the game against Gillingham rescheduled for this date. They've just been taken over and promised investment, might be an idea to play them before they are up and running

    They’ll go down this season and hopefully take Crawley with them.
    That’ll take about 1000 miles off our away trips next season to 2 god awful places

    Just give Walsall the points and forget about rearranging it

    Same with Gillingham. They’ve only scored 7 goals all season so nailed on to put 4 past us.
