Are you saying that they couldn't be aired at the same time, in fear of more people wanting to watch our Chekatrade Trophy match other than wanting to watch Leicester getting thumped in the Champions league?
Sky wouldn't be able to show it live in w/c 20 Feb as it's a Champions League week and clashes are not allowed.
Just wouldn't work, iirc the gillingham game didn't sell out because tickets couldn't be made available in time or have I made that up?
Can someone (with twitter) tweet the club and ask what the fuck is going on (not in those words)?
If it really is going to be the week after next they need to be working over time starting yesterday.
Maybe they got confused with the Yeovil Luton game, which IS on the 7th.
That's obviously the previous round.
still 4 potential finalists out thereto play against.
I can just see the posters right now.
Checkatrade EFL Trophy Final
Wembley Stadium
Sunday 2nd April
4.30pm
Coventry City v Bradford or Oxford or Luton or Yeovil
Someone just did it and the club said it's still tbc.
This looks increasingly like a balls up by Wycombe
Or sky have "requested" 7th?

Very interesting point.
That would make sense, but at the moment this is all very confusing. I mean if it was the week of 20th, surely they could have just confirmed it by now? How long does it take to pick a fixture date?
Why does having the date confirmed within the next couple of days point towards an earlier date? Stuff like this is usually confirmed pretty quickly anyway isn't it?Exactly - neither of us have a game during that week... additionally on twitter the club said the date will be confirmed in the next couple of days, which also seems to indicate that the game is going ahead earlier otherwise they could announce it now. Really annoying as I was gonna bring my tribe of kids (4) to the game during half term, but now looks like I will just have to fly in on my lonesome.
Unless Wycombe can somehow hold out 0-0 against Spurs at the weekend...

The opposite could be suggested. If it is the 7th like Wycombe say then surely we could just confirm that now.
Why haven't we just confirmed what Wycombe have already said?
Coventry City’s Checkatrade Trophy semi-final due for week of February 6
Apparently it will be that week, random that the other games from the previous round wont have been played.
Which is another reason to leave it as it was.Just shows the efl and fa don't think too much of it as a competition
Dreadful that the semi is played before the other quarters esp when a week had been earmarked.

Could be that the final place for us or Wycombe will be decided before the quarterfinals are even completed.
Hopefully by that point we'll have secured our place in the final and the other teams will be shitting themselves so much at the prospect of playing us that they will withdraw from the competition.
We will, but we will just be sitting there in an empty stadium watching the grass grow.So we still won't get our day at Wembley!!

'Potential' because a Spurs replay would take precedent over our fixture.Copy and pasted from the Colchester site.....
Chairboys game to be moved.
Colchester United's home game against Wycombe has been postponed for a second time.
The match was most recently due to be played on the 7th of February, but has been postponed due to the Chairboys' potential semi-final tie against Coventry in the Checkatrade Trophy - or an Emirates FA Cup replay against Tottenham.
What does it mean "The Chirboys' "potential" semi-final tie against Coventry?
Could it be they're so hyped up over playing Spurs that they've messed up here"? Playing us w/c 20th doesn't impact on their fixture list does it?
No, that hat I am saying . Wycombe draw at Spurs then they play on the 7th and ours against them is moved.But when would the Spurs replay be. Not w/c 20th would it?
That's over 3 weeks away.
Err, their FA Cup game is tomorrow.we just have to be aggressive in the tackles and they will backoff in case they get injured for the FA cup game. come on Sladey do some gamesmanship on this one
