Heard today from a couple of people at the game that this game is also off due to newport pulling out(and them getting a fixture against a better team).any truth as I have had to book this game off as well .

Think the club are making an official announcement about it tomorrow.

Their Fans forum states - "remember to cancel the bus to Eastleigh"

Very poor on their part if this is true (I did also hear this today). I hope we can get something else arranged for that date.

Perhaps they heard about our pitch :-)
If it is Gloucester, it's hardly a 'better' team, is it? And surely they've got enough players to play two squads on the 22nd, if they're a FL team?

Newport official website says they are away to Gloucester City on the 22nd July. Disgraceful!

Think the club are making an official announcement about it tomorrow. Nothing from the club so far. I assume they are trying to get a replacement game organised, but can't imagine there are many FL clubs with a spare Saturday fixture at this late stage. |

I reckon Newport either can't afford the petrol or they are terrified of our international class pitch showing them up for the cloggers they are. Which is it Newport?

Looking on their forum they knew they weren't playing us on 29th June as fixture for that date lists Gloucester. Wonder how long ago they made this decision....?

very odd grumpy, scrolling through Newport's official twitter feed there appears to be no mention of this game being called off & looking back to Mays tweets the date of the game was mentioned as Sat July 29!
Anyway I'm sure all will become clear in the coming days. We had 4 PSFs originally so I am guessing we will be looking at at least 1 more game besides Pompey & Sheff Utd

Yes, very odd. Especially as their forum talks about our game being replaced with the game against the Cobblers which is on 29th. Maybe crossed wires on arranging the dates.

I would be worried if that's the case because we have in Ray M one of the best club secretaries in this league. So you have to wonder what on earth is going on on planet Silverlake? |

Yep, and with Sheffield United on the Friday (hopefully!!) there was never a chance of us playing them on 29th.
