Breaking News Dagenham at Home Postponed - was Saturday 12 March

[LBBlue]

Daggers have a F A Trophy match so another Saturday rearranged.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Not unexpected another game to be arranged under the lights

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Bit of a blow - had Richard Cadette lined up as our SUEPA match day guest for that one

 

[Bar na bas]

We are pretty good at the moment under the lights. Yeovil, Kings Lynn, Bromley, Barnet all wins under lights.

That sucks.

You finally got him, then?

 

[Shrimper]

If Notts County win the next round then that game will also be moved

In fact all of our home league wins (Eastleigh and Dover being the other two), have been evening games.

IIRC we had just 3 regular 3pm Saturday home kick offs before Christmas this season and it now seems we will only have 3 this 2nd half of the season as well.
Appalling for season ticket holders, and others who City work etc, and pretty difficult for hospitality bookings.
When fixtures came out I thought they were very poor but with covid and cup interruptions they are considerably worse.

It's a good thing we have a large and motivated fanbase. I dread to think what this kind of treatment would do to a smaller club's finances.

Tuesdays are a rush for me and I normally miss 15-20 mins. I may as well bin my two young childrens STs too. The FA Trophy being on Saturdays seems a bit odd

I wouldn't read too much into that considering on what days the home fixtures have recently fallen and the contemporary uptick in form.

 

[OldBlueLady]

All these evening games have meant we've not had the flags out for absolutely ages.

Merely observing a fact.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Can't they move that P0xy trophy game to a week day rather than our game?.

I've never understood why FA trophy fixtures take precedence over league ones. Seems a bit daft.

Once upon a time it was the most important competition for non league teams. Just like the FA cup was for 90% of the league teams.

 

[Gridelet's contact lens]

Would BT Sport want to put one of our Saturday home fixtures on air as well? This reduces that opportunity.

Hmmm, Wrexham 3 Boreham Wood 0, I suspect the Wood Army were not that fussed about the Trophy either. I wonder if we could squeeze them in on one of our open Saturdays now?

They have scheduled home league games against Chesterfield and Woking on them dates. Both teams no longer in FA Trophy, so will not happen unfortunately
