So they've had to re arrange the game due to Fleetwood having friendly internationals in a B team

Absolutely!Would you want the game played if Dembelle got called up?
Lawal scored 2 for the Cod's Saturday so would be a big loss for them if the game went ahead.
No difference.
The rules are an arse and need changing.
Rightly or wrongly we continue to play when Lavery (a full international) gets called up so there is a difference!

According to that they seem to be going against the EFL rules, so not sure how it's allowed.
It also mentioned some annoyed about losing out to Fleetwood in the past given where their funding came from.
"Other clubs were left behind as Fleetwood rose rapidly through the divisions and have voiced concern about the fact the club was bankrolled by a man who has now been convicted of fraud.
Wrexham, now the subject of a hit Disney+ series documenting the fortunes of a club that spent 80 consecutive seasons in the English Football League before relegation in 2008, are one. They finally returned to the fourth tier this year.
But their comeback almost came a lot sooner. In the 2011-12 season, they won 30 out of 46 games and amassed 98 points, which in many seasons would be enough to win the league and gain automatic promotion.
However, they were just pipped to the post by Fleetwood, whose top scorer that season, Jamie Vardy (31 goals), went on to win the Premier League and FA Cup with Leicester City.
In 2011, Fleetwood had signed the striker from Northern Premier League side Halifax Town for £150,000, a huge sum at that level, though turned a healthy profit when they sold him to Leicester for £1million a year later.
The Athletic has spoken to players who were part of the Wrexham squad during that 2011-12 season and they recall Fleetwood signing two key players — Andy Mangan and Lee Fowler — directly from the north Wales club. Fowler played half the season for Wrexham before moving in January.
“If it wasn’t for the money he (Pilley) was ploughing into the club, they wouldn’t have been as successful,” one former player, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the legal sensitivities of the Pilley situation, says. “It does leave a bitter taste in your mouth looking at where they are now.
“Maybe that should have been us 10 years earlier than Wrexham are now. It’s something that will always niggle that squad.”
If anyone can't read the article just refresh and stop before it fully loads...

So annoyed at this. What is this international break anyway? Is there any more shit friendlies that need to be played before we all become interested. Even the international players must be knackered and disinterested at this stage. And yes, you've guessed it. I have a ticket and now can't go

Who decides on the new fixture date ,that’s three home games in nine days for us.The new date suits them more than us as they were due to play Peterborough on the Saturday before which is postponed because of the BSM final so they have a free weekend

I would imagine it's a mutual decision by the clubs concerned and the EFL I assume would make a decision if in the unlikely scenario that the clubs disagree on a suitable date

Probably down to the long distance and potential jet lagI figured as much, that'll reduce how many they bring, I'd expect 1500 on a weekend but no more than 800 on a Tuesday.

they need to sort out international breaks. either don't play any L1 games on them at all, or ban them from being called off. Simple as.

Yes, the twilight curfew applicable to a large number of Fishtown's residents will impact on the away following.
