Question for South London and Wanderer as it concerns their club.
Why wasn't Coventry v Wycombe (postponed from 25 Jan) not played on 18 Feb or 10 March. Neither team had a game that day and Birmingham City didn't either so the pitch was available. Oxford were told to cram in their postponed games on the first available midweek date which is why we played 9 matches in February. So why didn't Cov v Wyc get played? Seems to be no reason why it should not have been played as there were dates available. And now not doing so has caused an imbalance in the number of games played by the top of the table teams. Wycombe would have had to have beaten Coventry to be 3rd in the table, a draw was not going to be enough, but an unweighted PPG gives more that one point and enough to take 3rd.
I have no idea, I wasn’t privy to the discussions between the two clubs at the time.
It’s also worth noting that we were due to play Bury on the 7th March and had we done so we would be level on games with the majority of teams in League One.
