A chance it could be postponed due to International call-ups again !

Hopefully they won't mess us about again, or else there'll be no love lost when they get relegated...

Can't blame them if they do postpone it, I'm sure we would do the same in a similar situation.

This, is why football has gone crazy. Absolutely ridiculously so.

(old) First Division matches in the 70's and 80's were never called off for International callups or International "breaks".

And now, these days, we have League 2 matches being called off for same.

How crap is modern football ??

Bad enough on a bank holiday, definitely not making the effort on a Tuesday

I don't think we did (Ryan McGivern perhaps?), nor should we. There'll be quite a few of us who are planning to go on Easter Monday who won't go on a Tuesday night, because of logistics such as extra costs and time off work caused by overnight return travel or stayovers.

They won't postpone it because we'd take less fans for a rearranged match and they must want to play us soon as possible before we finally come out of our slump.

They have postponed it --- See Website !!!!!

They still scared of us!!

No brainer really. The small financial loss for one match is completely insignificant compared to retaining their league status.

Sound like they haven't listened to you oh wise one...

Yup, was going to say it just shows what I know. I can't even get the Prediction Competition right anymore!

Hope we relegate them

I booked Exeter for the £20 return job. Someone said last week ooo that is good, might go - it is now £86.

Presume the same applies for Easter Monday, so you can made a decent profit from somewhere if you want to go down that road?

He's going by train unless its a coach replacement service as it is a Bank Holiday where they tend to do a lot of rail works!

For the 15 people that might be going, the game is rearranged fot Tuesday 5th April

They do have engineering works... but these are also programmed months in advance so you know at the time of booking. The only engineering works on the day that wouldve impacted my journey is on the tube getting to and from Dagenham.

I bought the tickets when virgin trains did a seat sale last week... Lancaster to London and back for £20. May still use them to go to a new ground, but not many 3pm kickoffs in London that day at grounds I havent already been to.

Two Leyton Orient players have also been called up for International duty, but they will simply miss their League games over Easter

No wonder Daggers are riding so high with all these star internationals

Dagenham and Oxford have now played 37 matches which is one more than the norm.

Where did they bring last nights thrashing forward from ?

Don't we have any players eligible for Notty ash side?
