It follows heavy rainfall in the area which has left patches of surface water on the Bloomfield Road pitch.

Although the rain has now stopped, referee Martin Coy will make a decision on whether the surface is playable.

An initial inspection took place at 4.30pm but the referee decided to hold another one an hour later.

The game, which has been rearranged following Blackpool's run to the third round of the FA Cup, is due to kick off at 7.45pm.

Terry McPhillips labelled the pitch a "cow field" after Blackpool's last home game, the 0-0 draw against Shrewsbury Town.

Both he and captain Jay Spearing also remarked that the Seasiders would have no other option but to change their style of play because of the detiorating state of the surface.
