Re: Todays Games.

Err. That’s why our game was on Thursday ��

Err. The original fixture was scheduled for today when EFL fixtures were released. Sky dictated the change not the EFL sort of realising they’d dropped a bollock.

If Sky hadn’t changed the date, then the EFL would have.

Well they need to have a word with whoever compiles the fixtures then, I’ll take a wild guess that it’s the EFL themselves.

Can you remember when it looked a real possibility that we could have faced Swansea rather than Blackpool in the championship playoff final?
Now that would have taken some organising 😂

Re: Todays Games.

We’ve played home same day as Newport as well which is much closer but both Potteries clubs are in the same city.

Aston Villa have played at home on the same day as Birmingham City on a couple of occasions in recent years.

I’ll be most impressed if you can come with a date that Dundee and Dundee Utd both played at home on the same day .

I just Googled it and quickly found a message board discussion about it among Port Vale fans. Apparently, it’s likely that this game would have been moved because of the away followings City and Derby have, but Stoke and Port Vaie have played on the same day on several occasions since 2017 (which was the first time for more than 30 years), and they are scheduled to do so again later in the season.

Just looked it up. They have both played at home on the same day. One kicked of at noon the other at 3pm. Grounds are only about 200 yards apart 😱

Must be a feisty derby game.

Newport us a different authority though, with a different police force to either us or the jacks.

ChatGPT says it's happened 3 times.

Excluding COVID times that is.

A weird day watching Championship football with all the usual suspects and realising that we have to get promoted to play them again.

Wednesday 1-0 up at Leicester, putting in a good performance in spite off all the off field issues

Wednesday players ran length of the pitch to celebrate with the travelling support
