The Pats statement reads like they couldn’t get a return charter flight rather than a cancellation. Talks about communicating with FAI about their difficulties all week. I don’t see the issue with playing the game at 5pm if they are arriving in the early hours of the morning. It’s not like they’ve been kipping on the airport floor since the final whistle on Thursday night. I’m not one for conspiracy theories normally but if the Sofia tie was over at half time like the Sligo tie I think the game would have gone ahead as planned on Sunday.
I don’t think there should be a walkover but I think we need to hear more about what actually happened. When the league informed Pats that the game was moved to Sunday, why didn’t issues with their travel arrangements emerge then? Instead LOI social media is full of Pats fans saying the flight was pulled last minute during the match. Pats statement contradicts this.
