Plymouth at home - Rearranged for Tue 21 April 2026 7.45pm

Pointless. The 1000’s of people that don’t turn up have already paid.

 

This gives the manager and lads a couple of weeks to reset, recharge and hopefully learn about the recent losses. It also takes a little bit of stung out of Plymouths momentum.

Next up is Northampton. A truly dreadful team on a dreadful run. We need to hammer these.

@Keefly Bantam dont forget your burns unit bet fella. You were adamant these were a decent side who wouldnt be anywhere near relegation and that we did well to get a point at their ground.

 

They looked relegation fodder all day long that day ...........i mean credit to them for actually being in the hunt for staying up because i thought they would have more or less been relegated by now

 

In this day and age where clubs are struggling for money do we need these pointless games stopping weekend games at the bottom 2 levels ...........how many thousands in lost revenue does it cost each club everytime it happens ??????

 

Not to mention the loss to local pubs, cafes etc due to far lower crowds of home and away fans.

 

One thing that is clearly noticed for night games is that there is a significant drop in the number of families and children there.

The Stockport and the Rotherham games were a week apart but because one was in the school holidays and one was in school term time the difference was clear to see. This is for already paid for tickets and people attending the game.

The Plymouth game this weekend with Plymouth doing well and pushing for the play offs would have been well attended with all families like to be there. Now looking at the date is might be played there is likely to be a drop because of it like to be on the TV with it now a Tuesday and with it being during school time thousands off the crowd all for a few kick about friendlies that no one gives a toss about. I didn't even know who England were playing this weekend, and the fact there is no Premier League game for teams like Man Utd from the 20th March until the 13th April is purely bonkers.

 

I can feel a 'sickie' coming on here....

 

Bit of luck it may derail plymouths season

 

Yes they looked absolutely shite and I said at the time it was 2pts dropped. And tbf they have taken 2pts from their last 30pts avilable and sit 7pts adrift....so they are pretty much done now.

 

Ha ha not forgotten about the bet. Happy to pay out. I am not @Fordy117

 

Dont know bud the bottom does not concern us
Still no doubt some will build them up into a team to be scared of

 

Now confirmed to be played Tuesday 21st April.

 

Followed by the End of Season Dinner and Awards on Wednesday 22nd I believe.

 

I know it’s the same every year, but, still time after that for somebody to be a hero…

 

At least that means Sky can’t bring the Bolton match forward to the Thursday !

 

I guess we will find out today that this game is being played at 12.30 no doubt or do they have the right to delay picking games for the second to last week to see how the table is panning out. Wasn't Donny a late move last season?

Looking at that week

Blackpool versus Leyton Orient
Bradford City versus Bolton Wanderers
Burton Albion versus Exeter City
Cardiff City versus Northampton Town
Doncaster Rovers versus Stevenage
Huddersfield Town versus Mansfield Town
Lincoln City versus Wycombe Wanderers
Luton Town versus Barnsley
Plymouth Argyle versus Port Vale
Rotherham United versus Reading
Stockport County versus Peterborough United
Wigan Athletic versus AFC Wimbledon

Bradford v Bolton is a shoe in for the TV game, beyond that possibly Lincoln home to play off chasing Wycombe when Lincoln will be crowned champions and possibly Burton v Exeter from the other end of the league. The rest are either mid table or miss matches of play off teams playing relegation fodder.

 

Games on that week are 3 Weeks notice, so would be next week they'll annouce it

 

End of season Dinner and Awards moved to Tuesday 28th April now ,makes sense after the new date for our re scheduled game against Plymouth was announced.
