Will Chesterfield postpone the big Sky match?

[Sheffsteel]

No football this weekend so I checked if we will be affected for any more international weekends.

Games that could be affected are
13 Nov Away to Chestefield and
25 Mar Away to Oldham

The Oldham game is being played this weekend so they don't have 3 internationals
However Chesterfield have requested that their game this weekend is cancelled due to internationals.

The rules have changed and under 21's count as affected players. Chesterfield have
Liam Graham New Zealand under 21
Ryan Fulton Scotland under 21 and
Connor Dimaio Rep of Ireland under 21

So it looks likely that's they will be able to request that the big Ched Evans local derby be postponed.

However as it is a live match on Sky then it wouldn't surprise me if Chezzie choose to play it with a slightly weakened squad.

Can Chesterfield cancel at short notice or do the wishes of Sky override the normal rules?

Or Ched might be cleared, called up to the Wales squad, and then Chesterfield will want it called off.

Good spot mate but I've got to be honest, you're asking the wrong people.

Why don't they just call off all League fixtures during an International week, they could use the spare Saturdays to fit in some of the tedious checker checkpoint check cup games or whatever they are called.

...or he might be back in the Slammer

No chance of that. He's served his [custodial] sentence.

you'll get told off talking about that person in this section of the board! I'd love to comment - but I can't - except to say that you are correct of course.

New Zealand have two World Cup matches that weekend but dont know about their u21s . Been searching the net for Scotland u21s and ROI u21s matches for November but it looks like neither have friendly matches. The Euro u21 qualifying matches have been completed so it looks like our match will be played on Nov 13th

'Do the wishes of Sky override the normal rules?'
No. They pump outrageous sums of money into the game and the Premier League/ FA/ UEFA decide who plays and when. Not
