szkocjasid Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Sheffield & the BSPL have really boxed themselves into a corner now, Wolves were forced into this date (against their wishes) because it was the "only date available" so how are Sheffield going to re-arrange this fixture? Whatever date is given Wolves can rightly say "so why wasn't this date offered instead of July 24th" 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chun Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 phil morris should be all over this. brings any semblance of respectability the league has into question. if both clubs agree to it then the fixture should be deemed as fulfilled but the points shouldn’t count.
