It comes after the game was forced to be postponed on Saturday due to a waterlogged pitch.

The rearranged fixture will kick off at 7.45pm.

Previously purchased tickets for the match remain valid, though refunds can be obtained should any supporter be unable to attend the new date.

Should any refunds not be sought, then the club will donate those home match ticket sales from Saturday to Trinity Hospice as previously agreed.

The total raised from ticket sales for Trinity Hospice will therefore be announced once the rearranged fixture has taken place.

Charlton fans no longer able to make the trip to Blackpool are advised to contact their own club regarding refunds.

The club has also confirmed bucket collections held for Trinity Hospice both inside and outside of Bloomfield Road on Saturday raised £4,855.

The club will be topping up that total by a further £3,140 should the remaining Jimmy Armfield tribute programmes from Saturday be sold, while home match ticket sales are to also be donated to the charity.

The 'Armfield 2' t-shirts that the players wore have also been given to the Hospice to utilise for fundraising purposes.

Linzi Young, Trinity's Head of Fundraising, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of Blackpool supporters, the various fans’ groups, and also by the goodwill of the club in recent days.”
