Their clash against Crawley Town, which was postponed a fortnight ago due to a waterlogged pitch at the Broadfield Stadium, will now take place on Tuesday, 21 March (7.45pm kick-off).

Danny Schofield’s side travel to Mansfield Town this Saturday, by which time they would have gone 21 days without playing a game.

The team trained on the 3G pitch next to the stadium last weekend following the news of their latest postponement.

This weekend’s game is expected to go ahead as temperatures across the north of England rise.

About 1,900 Rovers fans are expected to make the trip to Nottinghamshire.
