The match will now take place on Saturday, 3rd January, kick-off 3pm GMT, at The Trustmark Group Stadium.

This follows an agreement between the two clubs to move the New Year fixture to allow both sets of players to enjoy the festivities with their friends and family, also creating a more consistent gap between fixtures across the Christmas and New Year period.

It will be the Seasiders' first fixture of 2026, whilst they see our 2025 with a home fixture against Morpeth Town on Boxing Day.
