Ah yes, now on Twitter  https://twitter.com/Official_NTFC/status/988788691719086080

I guess will have to play it this week though as league won't want to extend season?

Presumably re-arranged for Thursday... maybe somewhere else??

Yes it is postponed it's on BUFC FB page x
This should surely be a forfeit now as there is no time left to play it, due to the play offs so starting so soon, and us being potential play off candidates.

There's still time this week to play it.

This is ridiculous..... Its a good job we are not fighting to avoid relegation with potentially 2 games in 2 days.

Surely it must be forfeit....

That will not happen , unfair to other teams .   If Nunny can't fulfil their fixtures it should be expulsion .

Yes but that then gives our players less time to rest before Saturday and that can't be fair on us.

Play the game at York Street.

 They have Bedworth Utd down the road, play it there.

More likely !     

Kicking Nunny out of the league if they do not fulfil fixture is the only other option .

Having looked closely at their fans forum there is something very wrong at Nunny. Some are suggesting they can't afford to put the game on, others that wages have not been paid and if they are still in the league it will be kids playing next season. Whatever is happening it is very unfair to us in many ways and the club must do all it can to resist any moves to play the game to our detriment ie; early kick off where lights are not needed as our players may not get time off work or playing two games in three days etc. The league must investigate the real reason this has happened as a matter of urgency and if needs be, expunge all Nunnys points and kick them out of the league. Nunneaton are serial offenders when it comes going bust and re inventing under another name. Yes I am furious at this but have no faith in the conference doing anything about it.

Totally agree oxo, they have plenty of clubs around them where they could play the game, we could have met halfway at Kettering's ground.
This is just so dodgy again, and l like you have no faith in the league ordering them to forfeit the game to us xx

This sounds so similar to what Worcester did at the end of last year, but at least they were up front about the lack of cash. I do agree, though, Oxo, they should be investigated and punished. When doing this the league should also investigate Spennymoor's tricks for not fulfilling fixtures, etc. Only problem for me would be, in expelling the pair from the Vanarama, it would potentially save the Tinpots from relegation!

Really annoyed with Nuneaton. I wrote to their Chairman after the late postponement last time without a reply. Mickey Mouse club.

Arranged all my work and travel around this today. What a waste.

Perhaps Trinity and Tamworth may have something to play for on Saturday after all.

If Nunny do not fulfil their fixtures they get kicked out of the league and their record for the season is wiped out ,  giving us a boost with a smaller points loss than York, BPA,  Spenny, Chorley .

Their fans talking about a players meeting today and the coincidence of the daytime floodlight failure saying the club could be trying to struggle through until end of season. The plot thickens.

They will have to postpone this now and play us instead on Thurs, but where?

"Nuneaton Town travel to Keys Park to face Hednesford Town in the Birmingham Senior Cup Semi-Final on Thursday the 26th of April"
