It is at our request but both clubs have said the reasons are beyond our control.

Our statement doesn’t say it’s our request though, only “beyond our control” which makes it sound like it is Burton that’s cancelled it

I know, and it's only on Burton's website where it's reported that it is at our request.

Or it could be we won’t have enough players for 2 squads

Any links to the Saudis ?

Most likely lack of players I would have thought.

Slightly disappointed as I miss the first two weeks of the season and so I was going to go to this to get a sneak peak. Oh well

Is there any suggestion we might find an alternative match for that day? I was really looking forward to it!

Alex James said no

The good thing is Huddersfield won’t have a clue what to expect :lol:

I think some of the criticism directed at the Club for poor communication is Ill-founded.
However - why can’t they just say what the reason for the cancellation is.
It’s probably a sound reason. Why not share it?
