Foolishly I booked flights to UK before noticing that March 23 is an international weekend.
Wycombe tickets seem now to be on sale, what do we think is likelihood of postponement?
Worth booking tickets or better holding off? I sound like such a tourist and everybody hates a tourist.

I think someone mentioned in a previous thread that all Wycombe games have been postponed for previous international weeks...

Is what came in to my head as soon as I read that last line.

I can't see it going ahead and with squads being announced this week, I expect the notification to come through at some point this week. This may actually be a blessing for us as it would give Monk some time on the training ground and us to get some of the injured players closer to fitness. Can see it being arranged for the final week of the season like Burton last year.

Having just checked the fixtures, Wycombe are playing Derby on Weds 10th April, we are away at Bristol Rovers on the 16th so it would have to be Tues 23rd as that's the only free midweek left.
I remember MB mentioning in a press conference earlier in the season, that the league were looking at not arranging fixtures on international windows for League 1 clubs. I wonder if this may come in next season though with the tin pot Trophy it will lead to a lot of midweeks which isnt our strength for some reason.

Extra time to prepare for some big games and allow Monk to really nail down who and how we'll play for the remainder of the season.

Wonder if Taylor and KaiKai will get a call up if their respective countries they represent have a friendly game scheduled.

After some half arsed googling it seems Monserrat don’t have a game until June. And the same with Sierra Leone.

moved as expected to April 23rd
Lyle Taylor (Montserrat), Macauley Bonne (Zimbabwe), Jubril Okedina (Malawi) and Sullay Kaikai (Sierra Leone) have all received call-ups for the upcoming international break.

Monk furiously searching on Ancestry.com for Malawian relatives to get this game postponed.

Could be glass half full or empty - moves Wycombe closer to the beach but Tuesday nights aren’t our forte..

I just like the idea of MacAuley Bonne expecting Neil Harris to be in charge of Zimbabwe.
