Anyone any clues as to when these matches will be slotted in?
I'm going to Spain for 3 weeks on 8th march and had organised it so I would miss only one home match(wigan) but it looks like I may miss 3 now!
I would be gutted if this was the case as these two matches could define whether we finish top four or not.

Blackburn mate unless they rearange these games midweek between the Sunderland,Fullham and Wigan games they wont be played in March so you could end up just missing your original game mate.

Hope you're right gillie but if the worse comes to the worse I will no doubt find a bar where they showing the match on an obscure channel.

Mate due to our 2 week break we are down to play only three games in March, 14,21 and 29th.

I know therefore my guess would be that at least one of these outstanding matches may be rearranged for either w/c 16th or w/c 23rd. There is also the possibility that the home match with Birmingham scheduled for 11th April could be postponed if Brum beat Pompey in the cup next week. My guess is that we wouldn't want to be cramming half a dozen matches into the last 3 weeks of the season.

Blackburn you could be right as thinking logically they may be waiting to see the outcomes of Spuds FACup tie at Fullham.

I'm sure in the past there have been games on Easter Monday (5 April). We are away at Burnley on the Saturday evening, and then don't play until the following Sunday (home to Birmingham). So maybe Spuds or Everton will be arranged for then?

Yes, it would definitely be postponed if Birmingham win away at Pompey. But then Everton are due to play Villa on 10 April, so if Villa also go through in the FA Cup (away at Reading, so highly possible) we could always play Everton instead as we'll both be at a loose end. Complicated business, isn't it?

As long as we don't end up with something silly like four games in six days towards the end of the season.

It is & if we don't squeeze some of these in soon we'll end up with a lot of games at the end of the season.

The Spurs game is still on on the OS. 1245 kickoff. Game ending around 15, then off to the cottage for spuds and a new game at 17 20. Could work but not very likely is it ? ;)
CTID!!

Was hoping we'd play Everton this weekend instead as there out of FA cup and now europa so must be sorted soon, both crucial games and the quicker we get the game in hand out of way the better imo.

I would rather play them in their second game of the day if that can be arranged please.

Looking at our next three scheduled fixtures we are playing catch up on the teams around us and I guess it may continue virtually to the end of the season:

Sun. 14/3 Sunderland away
Sun. 21/3 Fulham away
Mon. 29/3 Wigan home

To win these three when following other teams results of that weekend will be difficult but not impossible. If we play like we did at Chelsea then we have a chance. Would much prefer though having the points in the bag than games in hand. Of course, they never said it was going to be easy!

Come on City!

Why could we not rearrange the Scouse2 game for this forthcoming weekend?.

The only reason I knew that was because I thought the same thing yesterday so had a look. I think that is the only Prem game taking place all weekend, just our luck!
