That'll be all of the next four league games at home that I'm unable to make then, with the other three having been moved for TV.

Season ticket money would have been better off going down the bog.

And it will surely be fewer than 4 once they announce the TV fixtures for the last part of the season.

I’ve never known a season like it.

11 and as KSR says, I think there are still TV announcements to be made, so likely to be less than 4.

Yes. Poor if that's the case.

Just renewed for next year, reluctantly, because this year I will only make less than half of home games.

Trying to figure out how to get to Sunderland and Leeds (only one car in the family and we have other needs too and are many miles away). So this Oxford one is unwelcome but expected.

A long way off but if we get to Quarter Final of FA Cup this is schedule for weekend of 29th March when we are due Bristol City at home, so potential for another fixture being moved.

Up until the last few seasons I have never been able to make many Saturday games due to work so it was never worth my while getting a season ticket.Now I only work Summer Saturdays the last 2 seasons I've bought one and this season I've missed more games due to them not being 3pm Saturday KOs !

Have league games always been scheduled for 4th round day for second tier teams?

I have family who are Oxford fans and they were looking forward to coming up, midweek is no good for those who have to work the next day.

The only positive is that all our rivals - except Sunderland- got through, so they will all have to find a new date and they wont gain points on us on 4th round day

5th round is scheduled for the first weekend in March, we are away at Cardiff on that Saturday..

Championship fixtures aren't normally scheduled for the 4th round date, this season is different due to the extra games in the Champions League which has provided headaches for fixture planners in this country.

Id completely overlooked this and booked flights for oxford at home. ****

At this rate i may end up only making the 2 derbies out of 23 home games. Not great value

Might the game be brought forward? There’s a gap in the midweek before the Oxford fixture was originally scheduled
