Hello everyone. A ground hopping Newcastle fan here. Pleased to join your forum. I've took a gamble and booked trains to London for the day you're due to play Salford (24th Sep) in the hope that i can tick off ground No 88 in my bid to 'Do the 92'. I say it's a gamble because as well as any potential train strikes i've found in the past that some games scheduled for international weekends fall victim to international call ups. It's my luck that players from games i hope to see get called away to play for Uzbekistan u21s and the likes. Not being familiar with the Sutton squad i'd like some inside knowledge on the likelihood on the prospects of any call ups and possible subsequent postponement please. Cheers for any help and hopefully some reassurance.

As far as I know we currently only have 1 current international on our books (Luke Gambin, Malta), so from our end it's very unlikely there will be a postponement, although I have no idea what the situation with Salford is. Omat Bugiel is a Lebanese international, but I'm not sure if he's been called up for a while. Certainly hasn't been by them in 2022, and I did hear a rumour that he isn't that interested in being called up (as it seems more often that not he flies around the world to sit on the bench)

Thanks for that. This will be my 2nd attempt to visit. I fell victim to the train strike and so missed the Newport game.

To scoreboard82. I wish you well in your trips around the grounds. I hope you get your goal!! That's very kind of you. I'm so near yet so far from completing the set. Sutton, Gillingham, Exeter, Coventry (did Highfield Rd but technically doesn't count) and Forest Green remain. The latter's a tricky one because I think they're moving to a new build but I'm not sure sure of the timescale. If I can find out that they're moving sooner rather than later I'll wait to save me having to go back. You ladies and gents will know better than me but looks very awkward to get to despite it's proximity to Bristol. Really looking forward to visiting Gander Green Lane though. Hope i get there as planned.

Yeah, it is a bit of a pain to get to. Not sure on the timescale but I wouldn't hold your breath as they're probably planning quite a complicated build
