Barnsley Home Postponed

by muirinho » 31 Aug 2017 11:39

Because of Carabao Cup fixture clash.

The one remaining Round Two fixture of this season’s Carabao Cup between Barnsley and Derby County is now to be moved to Tuesday 12th September – and that switch requires the rearrangement of our home fixture against the Tykes and the Derby’s league game against Ipswich Town.

The need to move the cup tie forward a week is required due to limited flexibility in the fixture schedule, alongside the fact that the winners of the Round Two tie between Barnsley and Derby County have been drawn against Tottenham Hotspur - who have the added complication of playing their home games at Wembley Stadium as well as being involved in the group stages of the Champions League.

That's a right result - couldn't make this one due to work commitments

Silly question probably but why wasn't this game played with all the other round 2 games?

Because Derby played a rearranged 1st round tie on that night. after the original game was abandoned

OK, so next question is why couldn't Grimsby v Derby be played with all the 1st round ties? Just interested to know the reason behind all these knock on effects.

Grimsby Derby original 1st Round tie was abandoned due to waterlogged pitch. When we played our 2nd Round tie with Millwall, Grimsby Derby played out the rearranged match which in turn means they are a match behind. It wouldn't be so much of an issue had they not drawn Tottenham in Round 3 who have Wembley commitments and Champions League fixtures as well.

:lol:

On the upside Reading could do with a week clear to properly prepare the usual shambles that turns out at Brentford.

It'll be nice to have a midweek game after a Saturday away game for once

Given that everyone plays weakened teams in the cup why can't Barnsley just play two games on the same night ?

I found it a bit hypocritical how much the club is expressing it's 'disappointment'. They would happy change a match date at short notice if they thought the club could make an extra £20 out of the tie.

I`m not sure why the 17th October was not considered ?
