International call ups for Nick Townsend, Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Matt Baker mean home match scheduled for next Saturday 25th March is postponed until Tuesday 25th April at 7.45pm.

Hopefully not many visitors caught out with train tickets for this one. Not much advance notice (not blaming anyone). Don't suppose they saw that coming.

The problem is that they can't call the game off until the International squads have been announced. I don't think any of the call ups were a big surprise so I would hope that we have been in touch with Harrogate to discuss the possibility in advance but as usual, the supporters will come at the end of the process.

Quite so.

The people who run the Premiere League, and as a consequence control the EFL have a long and distinguished record of not giving a f@ck about the fans.

No criticism of Newport County they are in an invidious position, however if you are a Harrogate fan, living in London with a return train ticket to Newport for next Saturday good luck and bugger off is how you're being treated.

It's great having banter between supporters but on issues like this we should make our collective voice heard.

I shall take note of international breaks when considering 'stay over' away fixtures next season. Am I correct in thinking that this one is later than previous breaks? Had this been the away fixture with Harrogate, I would almost certainly have booked travel and accommodation some time ago.
