Anyone know why $hel$ aren't playing some of their games in hand?

AFAIK they have a game in hand versus Rovers & since both are out of the cup strange they don't play it this weekend.

Is this some Ollie ploy to save the game til the end so he can extend the season for $hel$ & they'll know what they need in the last game?

I doubt it.

I was looking at the fixture list and all teams are playing something like 6 or 7 league games in November so there won't be any room to play games in hand.

What will happen if any of the last few games are postponed due to bad weather?

Shels were supposed to play Rovers this weekend but seeing as Rovers have no where to play it, it can't be played

Just shows what a joke the League is.

Anywhere in the world if a team couldnt fulfill a fixture they'd be docked points or fine or at least forced to play away.

Exactely, not withstanding Rovers ground problems games in hand shoiuld be played at the earliest mid-week opportunity.

In fairness the league probably postponed it.
