Town were due to travel to the Kassam Stadium last weekend, but the Sky Bet League One match was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

The fixture has been quickly rearranged though, and the match will now take place at the Kassam on Tuesday, February 20, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

It means Jon Brady's men will face a hectic run of five games in 15 days between February 10 and February 24.

The run kicks off with a home date against Bolton Wanderers (Feb 10), with a trip to Leyton Orient following on Tuesday, February 13.

On Saturday, February 17, the Cobblers then host Bristol Rovers at Sixfields before going to Oxford on the Tuesday (Feb 20) and then travelling to Burton Albion on February 24.

Town had sold out their 1,500 allocation for Saturday’s original fixture against Oxford, and all tickets remain valid for the new date.
