Cobblers fixture postponed and rearranged for new date

The game was scheduled to take place at Sixfields next weekend – Saturday, March 28th – but it has been postponed due to international call-ups in the Barnsley squad. The reverse fixture at Oakwell earlier in the season also had to be rearranged for the same reason.

Teams need at least three players to be selected by their countries in order to have the option to call games off. Patrick Kelly has already been called up by Northern Ireland while Welsh under-21 internationals Jonathan Bland and Vimal Yoganathan are also set to join up with their countries, as is England Under-21 goalkeeper Owen Goodman. Cobblers duo Michael Forbes and Tyrese Fornah have been on international duty this season, and Jake Evans has also represented England Under-17s.

The fixture between Cobblers and Barnsley will now take place on Tuesday, April 28th, at 7.45pm. Having played fewer fixtures than almost anyone else in the league, 12th-placed Barnsley are already playing catch up and now face a run of nine games in 29 days to finish the season.

Any tickets purchased for the original date will be valid for the rearranged date, while any match ticket holder who is unable to make the re-arranged date has until 5pm on Monday, April 27th, to claim a refund from the ticket office.
