3fingersreid Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Play it on Wednesday rather than the Tuesday , more time for both to prepare and gets another game out the way .

They (DA) were due to play them in the Cup also on Tuesday anyway. I doubt we wouldnt want to arrange team at such short notice though. No doubt Doncaster will be feeding the data into the Super-computer to get the fixtures re-arranged as we speak Edited January 11 by Tommy Brown Quote Link to post Share on other sites

2205ian Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Mentioned on another thread earlier today. All 5 Championship games due to be tomorrow night have been postponed. Due to Scottish Cup being shelved for 3 weeks, the date set aside for Round 3 (Saturday 30th January) is now free for the games to be played on that date. Easy, peasy, but maybe outwith the reach of Donkey & Co at SPFL to implement!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hoof.hearted Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Would it not make sense to arrange the missed fixtures from last mid week for next week? There's no games so would save a fixture headache when cup matches are allowed to be played...or is that too sensible for the SPFL.

CJGJ Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Given the cup situation the weekend of Saturday 30th January would be free.....Dunfermline Athletic in the same boat so common sense to apply you'd think As many have told us we need to take advantage of all free dates to get the number of fixtures completed to a high level We could play 8 more league matches before the end of February if we get it fitted in...taking us to 18 matches or 2/3rds of the season completed Of course the cup has the 4th round scheduled for 20/2/2021 but we still don't have dates for the 3rd round yet confirmed and they won't be played prior to the 30th January For us of course 3rd round tie will depend on beating Brora Rangers at some point Edited January 14 by CJGJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
