Carlisle match postponed

19 January 2024

Tomorrow's Sky Bet League One fixture with Carlisle United has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

A Football League appointed match official conducted an 11AM pitch inspection at the Completely-Suzuki Stadium this morning.

After consultation with the Football League the decision has been made to postpone tommorow's fixture.

The frost covers have been on the pitch all week but temperatures for the past two nights have fallen so low that a considerable amount of frost has got into the pitch.

On balance it was felt that temperatures are not forecast to rise high enough to remove the frost before kick-off so the decision has been taken to postpone the match.

The timing of the decision has also taken into account the considerable journey faced by opponents Carlisle and a desire to inconvenience them as little as possible.

Tickets already purchased for the match will be valid for the re-arranged date, which will be announced in due course.
