League 1 postponements

[KT17]

I notice that three League 1 games (Coventry, Millwall, Sheffield United) scheduled for 8th October have been postponed, according to the BBC because of 'insufficient players'.

Insufficient players??

What's going on?

International football.

International football.

Coventry v Chesterfield?!

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Coventry v Chesterfield?!

Chesterfield have had 3 players called up, 1 for New Zealand, 1 for Scotland U-21s and 1 for Rep of Ireland U21s so they can get game postponed.

That's pretty ironic considering where Coventry were say 10 years ago with a host of internationals then.

 

[BensGrandad]

Is it not the rule that if you lose 3 players to internationals you can postpone the game.?

When did they drop out of the Premiership? Must have had a few "Carlos Kickaball" in those days.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Blimey thjey dropped out of the Premiership in 2001. Had not realised they were in the Championship for so long before their drop in 2012.

Which promoted Palace to no.11 in the "longest time currently in the top two division" league. If Ipswich, Aston Villa, or (laughably) Newcastle were to be relegated this time we'd be in the Top Ten.

Coventry hold the RECORD for the LONGEST time since they've ever had a PROMOTION

Just in the current football league, or longer than Arsenal or Everton?

You have to respect Cov fans as they are not glory hunters. They haven't finished in the top six of any division for 46 years.

 

[Durlston]

Just imagine League Two next season - Coventry, Luton, Millwall and Portsmouth.

That would keep the police busy.
