Around 2,000 Blackpool fans were expected to make the trip to the Wham Ground.

The game will now take place on Tuesday, March 5 at 7.45pm.

The midweek clash follows a weekend trip to Bristol Rovers, while it's followed by a home game against Southend United.

Blackpool FC said: "Tickets for the game, which was originally due to take place last weekend, remain valid for the new date.

"Those unable to attend will be refunded."
