No idea why, but I think for them playing teams further down the line could help as they might have nothing to play for already. I just hope it isn’t at our expense. If the ban were to be lifted prior to season's end they would have a plethora of full grounds and home advantage. Their fan(s) could use up annual leave and take up residence outside the closed ground and lease loud speakers. A backlog of games means less need for warm up exercises. Sheer genius!

They haven't got any choice now, every midweek is now taken up for them. Any more postponements will mean more than one midweek fixture for them.

I think they are already beyond that stage, the game against Coventry hasn't been re arranged yet. it looks like they only have 2 options which will be Thursday 15/4 or 6/5. I would imagine the league will want to get this game sorted out before the last week of the season just in case there is a mysterious further covid event ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether this is an option for both clubs though. Even in the 2 weeks where Coventry don't have a mid week game I imagine they won't want to play on Thursday unless the Saturday game gets moved to a Sunday and the Tuesday game of the following week gets moved to a Wednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAMblingONagain Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I know it might be clutching at straws. And some folk reckon they have the easier teams to play (I'm not so sure that's right in this freaky league) But i still don't think they will be able to handle 5 solid weeks of 2 games a week. And they have also got to fit in the Cov. game Rovrum run in or our run in. RUFC Tues Sat. ----Int. Break.---- Fri. Mon. Sat. Tues. Sat. Wed. Sat. Tues. Sat. Tues. Sat. Plus Coventry ??? DCFC Tues.

Jourdan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 To be honest, a run like that for Rotherham could be a blessing or a curse. If they find form and start to play well, they’ll relish playing every three or four days. Plus three games in a week is pretty much the standard for the Championship now, so I don’t see the big fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may be waiting for international call ups and if they and Coventry don’t have any I guess they will play during the international break. I don’t think there is a rule against it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that the league could force Cov. to play it then. Do you think there would be any benefit to Cov. for them to say no to playing during the Int. Break ?

Assuming neither club has opted for a summer training camp during the break, No rules to say you can or can't refuse to play, But there has to be enough notice for the game to go ahead.

Any more postponements will mean more than one midweek fixture for them. That will teach them pulling the Covid card all the time. EFL should have took the F.A. stance and made to play their fixtures with their U23s & U18s like the Rams did in the cup. I see in the papers today, Rooney states that Rotherham should be investigated with their constant positive Covid tests continuing to keep happening. With 6 games currently against clubs in mid table to play and possibaly other fixtures being dead rubber games for their opponents when they play them at the back end of the season they could get an easy ride.

There are some rules about permission to play cannot be unreasonably withheld. Just like us in the postponed game it would have been better to push the game back a little and put them under more pressure. if they don't get it played then I think there is only one option which is Thursday 15/4. Whether back loading their fixtures is an advantage only hindsight will tell us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
