Reading game possibly off??

Noticed Reading have away tickets on sale for a few games in October, but not for our game at Oakwell on Saturday 12th! Barnsley are also not currently selling them! Does this look like it’s getting called off for internationals?

 

Hope so, we’re at Les Miserables…….no, not Oakwell, at Sheffield Arena.

 

At least Barnsley won't make you miserable.

 

Their game was off the previous international weekend, so probably yes.

 

I can see it now:

Do you hear the people sing……………watching Luca Connell, putting on a show

 

Certain to be off. Reading I believe have four internationals and you only need three for a cancellation.

 

We’ve already had “Bring him home” in the summer. That went well…

 

Confirmed - match postponed

Called off, call ups in Reading squad

 

So unless we get a home draw in FA Cup 1st round (and it's held on the Saturday), there's not going to be a Saturday home game for two months? Not ideal.

 

Same thing happened last year it’s a joke

 

That's the way Football sadly is now. It should mean a few more Blackpool tickets sold for a Football fix and when it's rearranged it will be and extra Sky Sports Plus game with it being midweek.

 

It’s definitely off

 

Amazing how a team 15th in League 1 can get a game called off because a few of their players have been called up for what are presumably U21 teams or lower ranked sides. Reading haven't even said which of their players it's likely to be. Absolute joke and pissing supporters about/ruining plans yet again.

 

this has almost become the norm. EFL should act and not put any league matches on in an international break. Clubs should be pressing for this asap

 

Don’t think these postponements should be a thing from 3rd tier down.

However where we are at as a team a bit more time on the training pitch might not be a bad thing.

 

Have the international squads even been announced?

 

After tomorrow night, we'll have played just 2 of our first 5 home games on a Saturday at 3pm, the preferred time for the vast majority of fans. This latest postponement will just add to the list. We've got several more matches to come which are due not to be played on a Saturday afternoon. For supporters who live a fair way from Barnsley, and find it difficult making evening fixtures, a season ticket is becoming an increasingly unattractive option.
