2nd televised League 2 match to be postponed this year, and Bradford v Darlo wasn't shown when rescheduled. Hopefully Sky will make an effort to still show a couple more matches before the end of the season, including this one for the Daggers benefit! Next one on Sky is Wycombe v Shrewsbury at lunchtime this Saturday. Hopefully Wycombe can do us a massive favour, and there shouldn't be any problems with the lighting either!

Don't be silly! Bradford aren't doing well enough and Sky don't know we exist unless it is as bridesmaids to "a big club".

Daggers have had a really good season thus far, I was looking forward to watching this game. They had a wobble when Benson initially got injured, but I think they'll push on again now. With quite a few of the sides currently in the top 7 still to play at home, they have a decent chance I think of making the play-offs.

Oh, and its Dagenham, not Daggenham.

I've edited the title. I've said before if a thread title is not correct then I'll edit it for clarity or to remove significant spelling mistakes.

While EDF's recorded message is fairly pathetic, with £50K at risk it really was their own responsibility to have a backup. If you read the small print of an electricity contract you'll find if they supply you with electric then they are obliged to provide it within certain values however they do not have to supply you.

Well, Rochdale v Darlo will be on Sky, Saturday 18th April, 12:45 kick-off (prior to our home game against Notts County). ;)
