Birmingham’s League One clash postponed at just nine days’ notice and fans have NO idea when they can play it
BIRMINGHAM are facing a fixture congestion nightmare after their League One clash with Stevenage has been postponed.
Birmingham were scheduled to take on the Boro on March 22 at the Lamex Stadium.
However, Blues stated the game – which was scheduled to take place in nine days – has been postponed due to international call-ups.
The League One outfit haven’t announced a new date in which the game will be played but promised a confirmation will be made “in due course”.
Birmingham issued the following statement: “The League One fixture was set to take place at the Lamex Stadium on Saturday, 22 March, kick-off at 3pm.
“A new date for this fixture, as well as Blues’ trip to Blackpool, will be announced in due course.”
Stevenage confirmed the postponement was at Birmingham’s request.
This raises questions as to when the sides can fit their postponed match in a packed schedule.
Birmingham already have to fit in the Blackpool clash, which has to be moved due to their participation in the Vertu Trophy final against Peterborough on April 13.
And, with games already scheduled every midweek between the international break and Easter, there seems to be only be ONE available date to fit in a game before the end of the season.

That would be between the final two weekends of the campaign, which finishes on May 3.
Birmingham appear all-but guaranteed to seal automatic promotion to the Championship, sitting 14 points clear of 3rd-placed Wrexham with 11 games to go.
And fans were convinced the club should have just played the game despite the international call-ups.
Fans were left perplexed as they took to social media looking for answers.
One fan tweeted: “We should have just played it.
“I don’t know when we are going to fit it in now.”
Another asked: “Are we gonna have to play one of the postponed games after the final day?”
A third wondered: “Genuinely when are we playing this?”
This fan joked: “We’ll be playing this game in 2028 at this point.”
And that one said: “Where are we fitting this in?”
