Decision made on Blackpool's EFL Trophy meeting with Tranmere Rovers after delayed kick off
Blackpool’s game with Tranmere Rovers will go ahead at a later kick off time.
Blackpool’s EFL Trophy meeting with Tranmere Rovers will go ahead after several postponements.
The two teams meet at Prenton Park in their final outings in Group B, with both sides already into the next round and simply fighting it out for top spot.
On the back of Saturday’s 3-1 victory over Cardiff City, Seasiders boss Ian Evatt has made 11 changes to his starting XI - handing opportunities to a number of youngsters.
Warm-ups had taken place on the Wirral, before the decision was made to push back kick off for a pitch inspection.
After initially checking the pitch at 7.15pm, the referee deemed another test was needed at half past.
Following a further inspection, it’s been announced the contest will now start at 8pm, with the two teams undergoing their warm-ups again.
