You just couldn't make this up.

Date established for months in advance.  Then a few weeks before they announce that one of the two fixtures MAY move a day.  

Absolutely no consideration for the key stakeholder here, the supporters.  Further highlighted by the late time-change of Lincoln v Eastleigh this coming Saturday, just to accommodate BT Sport.

It just shows the lack of brains in operation at that level.

If, as mentioned, it is due to not being able to have the two Bristol teams playing on the same day, then why not just say that should Rovers end up in the playoffs their game would be moved. Rather than posting some cryptic horseshite that's of no use to anyone at all.

I'm down in Gy on that Monday, where I can't be on the Sunday because I help organise a music festival in my village over the May Bank Holiday. Realise it's pish for most folk, but if true, it's a case of every cloud having a silver lining for me.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

According to the official conference site there is going to be a game on the Monday though it doesn't specify who will be taking part (2 v 5 or 3 v 4)

If it happens to involves our lads on the bank holiday afternoon, then May the 4th be with you!

Conference twitter account pretty much ruled it out it being us.

Is this based on the tweet saying one game may be moved?

I am sure they mean Bristol but why not simply say!

"This will assist broadcasters and potential policing arrangements"

Yep, all four play-off spots and challenging positions occupied by teams within a stones throw of each other.

Just be honest and say it's purely for TV.
