Any sub suggestion sent to Mikey after 4pm the night of the game may not get responded to in time and may lead to you not getting a sub so please ensure the sub is available prior to the request.
Mikey will not reconsider a request he believes is not fair. Holding out for that will lead you to not having a sub.
