Wigan at Home - rearranged to 9th April

So it's the Wigan callups that have led to it being postponed - I'd like to think we'd have gone ahead if only Anderson, Hector and Fiorini called up.

That's a bugger. That was my last home game of the season before going to Thailand for three and a bit weeks. Unless it's rearranged to the 23rd April, which is probably doubtful, I won't be at another game this season. 

Wait till next season with Sky showing more League One fixtures and the wanky kick off times/days that comes with

I am back in London that weekend from Canada, first Charlton match I'll be able to get to in years - so yes it will definitely get postponed

This will be okay if the games are scheduled well in advance.
It goes without saying the away supporters will be shafted.

Won't make no difference when it's announced  Blackpool v Charlton 10.30am kick off on a Saturday morning

Great! Another pair of non refundable, bloody inflexible Advance train tickets that I have to somehow shoehorn into another journey at a financial loss

 I suppose the lesson here is not to buy inflexible tickets over international fixture weeks. 

It's annoying as F but we learn most from our errors.

Doesn't affect me because I don't go down the Valley much these days.

However, if I did & I had to travel some distance and/or had other plans scheduled that day I'd be checking out well in advance (like months ahead) if any of our fixtures clashed with an International break. It's hardly new that games get called off in this situation so I would kindly suggest that people check the football calendar to see what else is going on. It's not like it's just been sprung upon us that players could be missing & therefore the game be postponed. 

When are the 2024/25 international breaks?

• September 4-10, 2024
• October 7-15, 2024
• November 11-19, 2024
• March 17-25, 2025
• June 2-10, 2025
• September 1-9, 2025
• October 6-14, 2025
• November 10-18, 2025

For a number of years now I've produced a "fixture list on a page" which I print off to put on our fridge door (so management can see when I've got a home game) and also send to my parents for them to print off. Dad may well pass that on to his brother in Australia.

I usually wait until the draws have been made for the first round of the League Cup and the group stage of the BdSM Pizza Trophy and then include the dates for all the cup (FA Cup, League Cup, Trophy) matches (not that we ever need them ourselves but may come in handy in latter stages of FA Cup to se if there's a potential postponement due to scheduled league opponent still in Cup) and also the Play Off Final date (just in case).

I also highlight which matches fall on international weekends (dates easily picked up from FA website) so that I can see where there's a possibility of a match being called off.

I don't bother re-working and re-printing the thing if matches have been postponed and re-arranged, I may scribble something on the list instead.

It's a bit of a nerdy thing for me to do but I've done it for a long time. It also meant that I knew a long time in advance that the holiday I've got coming up may not result in me missing a home game ... which would be a result.

It might be quite useful for the club to highlight international breaks on the fixture list - rather than leaving it to thousands of fans to have to remember to check individually. 

In the meantime, thanks @clive for the above.

As others have already said, let’s see what happens re fixture changes under the new Sky deal. I really hope they have to announce these well in advance.
