Carlisle United's trip to Burton Albion has been arranged for later this month.

This Tuesday's game at the Pirelli Stadium fell victim to a waterlogged pitch and a late postponement.

The clubs have been quick to arrange a new date and the game will now be played on Tuesday, February 27, with a 7.45pm kick-off.

It will mean two away trips in the space of four days for United and their fans following the game at Bristol Rovers on Saturday, February 24.

The club have confirmed that tickets bought for the original game will be valid for the rearranged fixture.

Anyone requiring a refund must return their tickets to the Brunton Park ticket office before 4pm on Monday, February 26. For further information on refunds email ticket.printing@carlisleunited.co.uk.

This week's game was called off at about 6.40pm as United arrived to find the pitch partially covered and groundstaff working in vain on other areas of the surface amid heavy rain.

An inspection by referee Craig Hicks eventually ruled the pitch unplayable - the second time in successive weeks Burton saw a midweek game postponed late. Some 500+ Blues fans were set to attend the game.

United and the Brewers will now try again in just over a week's time, in a game which will see only the Blues' second ever EFL fixture at the Pirelli Stadium.
