Thanks, that was interesting.
I'd have thought Newcastle will want to push it out, get Gayle fit and their African Nations players (particularly Diame) back.
Regardless it's been decided now, although not sure why the build up to announcement at 10.00
Is this done between the clubs with FL approval or is it the FL that look at calendar and tell the clubs?
If the former I can see every reason why we want it sooner and Newcastle later .. how do they get over that or do the FL arbitrate?
