The fixture has now been rescheduled for Tuesday, November 8 and will kick off at 7.45pm.

“Blackpool's recently postponed home fixture against Middlesbrough has now been rescheduled for Tuesday 8 November, kick-off 7.45pm,” the Seasiders said in a statement.

“All previously purchased tickets for the game remain valid for the new date.”

The game will now be sandwiched in between a home clash against Luton Town on Saturday, November 5 and a trip to Wigan Athletic on Saturday, November 12.
