The home game against Nuneaton which was due to be played on Non League Day (Saturday October 13th) has fallen victim to the CONCACAF Nations League qualifiers. Nuneaton have had two players called up by St Kitts and Nevis and another called up by Grenada.
Looks like we aren't doing anything for NLD this year, which is a shame as the FEWG were looking into plans.

That’s a relief for me! I’m in Iceland for that date and would’ve missed it, so my assault of going to every game is still on.

Did we ever do anything for NLD in previous years?

That’s a bollocks reason to call a game off, I think. You know what international commitments your players might have when you sign and register them. With the weather, cup clashes and acts of god like we’re experiencing at the moment, getting games played is enough of a challenge without a perfectly good Saturday going to waste.

Also I would've thought the loss of just three players, one of whom I think is yet to make an appearance this season, doesn't warrant calling a game off.

I don't think we are in any position to criticise another club or the league for postponing this game considering our scenario.

I'm not criticising Nuneaton, they're entitled to do it and I don't blame them, but it's an unnecessary postponement.

Unless we get a home draw in the cup we are looking at another 5-6 weeks without a home game between Kidderminster and Alfreton

Reminds me of Angus Eve from the Smith era, pretty sure he played more international games for Trinidad during this time here than he did for us.

Notice we aren't the only ones affected by this, Nuneaton calling off matches on international weekends in each of the next three months including a home game in September against York.

FFS ! Got a weeks holiday coming up so will miss Bradford and one of the re-arranged fixtures. Means by the end of October I will have seen two home matches. On the plus side, over the same period, we might remain unbeaten at home during my visits to the Swansway ;-)

This season turning into a nightmare
Bought our STs as there was only one Tuesday night fixture( if there were more would have just paid on the day as we cannot make Tuesday nights due to prior commitments)
Now only 1 month in there are a minimum of 5 Tuesday night fixtures due to postponements,
Great idea buying STs, guarantee there will be more too
