So that'll be 5 games in 14 days, with 4 of them being away!

Always likely that we would have a cluster of away games together, as we are currently in the middle of a spell of 5 home games in 6 matches (possibly 6 in 7 matches if Fleetwood away is postponed).

For Peterborough, it'll be three successive weeks of midweek games, come to think of it.

And on both Southend and Peterborough official site fixture page they have the game listed as Tuesday 31st January!!

If the Fleetwood game is postponed and not rearranged for 31st January it will mean that 11 of the last 17 games are away from home.

Now you can see why they moved the Sheffield game

 

[AndyT]

Moving the Sheffield fixture just moved the congestion to now, rather than in February and front loaded our home games.

Other than creating a number of home games in a row, it hasn't really created a congestion as we don't have any mid week games over this month

4 games in 12 days begs to differ.

Now, you see, that is the nail smacked firmly on the head and rather timely, given our recent natter with certain powers that be.
