Norwich game gets April date

Last updated : 07 February 2007 By Tony Scholes
Norwich's continued involvement in the FA Cup, and they are now involved in a replay against Blackpool, has presumably made it difficult to get a more convenient early date for the game and it will now be played between our trip to Elland Road and a home game against promotion chasing West Brom.

The game was called off two and a half weeks ago following a late pitch inspection by Leeds referee Martin Atkinson who was concerned about player safety and the bounce of the ball in one small area of the pitch in the corner between the Jimmy McIlroy and Bob Lord Stands.

That was fine three days later when we played Stoke, and snow apart, there are no problems expected this week when we play Sheffield Wednesday when we are set to play at home on a Saturday for the first time on a Saturday in seven weeks.
