dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) No need to apologise Badge Its just a shame a new date isnt as easily and speedily knitted into the list And not impossible that those dates do revert to the Shield rather than the cup - after all its tradition for the first round of one side of the cup draw to not be completed until September Edited April 2, 2018 by dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Seems you were just ahead of the game Badge - for the home leg at least https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1976470832394694&id=172498052791990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 The cup now being on June 14th also sees Swindon host Rye so if that date not changing then guests will be in order for either Robins or (more likely) Lakeside anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainlesssteelride Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 That's good for the witches? Or will there be ringers for riders that a very hit and miss at foxhall, like Morris for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I received a press release email in confirmation but, this morning, it isn't on either club's fixture list whilst the latest news item on the Hammers website states that the date for their away leg is yet to be confirmed.

Saturday meetings have proved popular in the past so might have been a choice. Of course, there may be maintenance work being carried out at the stadium that weekend.

If so the 21st not an option as stadium use is limited to 2 meetings in any 8 day period 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Its good that it is being fitted into April Saturday also provides opportunities to build a larger crowd as easier for visiting fans and probably more popular with newbie/irregular families Still seems crazy to have half a dozen specified reserve dates and have to use an off night (despite some advantages) after just 1 rain off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 At least both teams are trying to get it on early rather than hoping for a nice summer & race it in July! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. Unfortunately it's the Swindon Lakeside tie up that's been the problem, most other teams it wouldn't have been so hard, but with the PL team riding several times on the off PL night, has caused this confusion.

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Lakeside have effectively by default become a Thursday night club when it comes to riding away fixtures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
