We can confirm that our forthcoming Sky Bet League Two fixture against Salford City on Wednesday 29 December has been postponed.
We informed the EFL that we would be unable to fulfil the fixture at the Peninsula Stadium due to a number of positive COVID-19 cases in the squad.
The club has worked hard to ensure that it would be able to get this game played. However, taking into account the injuries and positive COVID-19 cases with the squad, we do not have a sufficient number of players available in order to fulfil the fixture.
In light of the increased transmission rate of the Omicron variant, the EFL will now review the circumstances surrounding the postponement.
In addition, it will assist affected clubs throughout this challenging period to help them mitigate against the risk of infection amongst players and staff, while ensuring their obligations to the EFL regulations are maintained.
A rearranged date for the fixtures will be confirmed in due course.
Our ticket office will be open at 10am on Thursday morning for enquiries about ticket options for this fixture, including refunds.
