Northampton Town Football Club can confirm that, following discussions with the EFL and Carlisle United, a pitch inspection will take place at Sixfields at 10am on Friday.
Whilst frost covers have been down for over a week, Wednesday night saw extreme freezing temperatures at Sixfields and with cold temperatures expected again overnight on Thursday, a decision to take a look at conditions with an EFL appointed referee on Friday morning was deemed appropriate.
As is always the case, we have to ensure that we consider not only the safety of the players but also the travelling arrangements of supporters of both clubs.
The club will announce the result of the pitch inspection as soon as possible on Friday morning.
