I guess it's a balance re some info, tell people too early and they have more time to moan and complain, particularly on here. I dunno how long it takes to find a willing replacement on the correct average, in this particular instance, but perhaps if you're working yourself it's not a 5 min job? If the club had more fans and so a full time promoter/manager I dare say things may be easier, like a few years ago .... Oh for 3/4/5k fans
