' Leicester game new date and Barnsley new date Official '

Fixture changes:

Leicester home brought forward to Tuesday March 12th.

Barnsley home now on Tuesday April 9th.





Cardiff City and Leicester City have agreed to move the Tuesday April 9th fixture to 7:45pm, Tuesday March 12th in order to ease fixture congestion for both teams.

The move comes following Barnsley’s FA Cup progression and their March 9th match against Manchester City, the day the Tykes were set to travel to Cardiff City Stadium in the Championship.

By moving the Leicester game from its April slot, Cardiff City remove the prospect of a potential eighth game in an already fixture packed month, also easing the financial pressure on supporters for having to try and attend six home games in quick succession during what could be a vital month in the aspirations of the club.

Leicester City, with promotion hopes of their own also benefit with the new date, the Foxes now not having to make a third away trip in nine days after travelling to Barnsley and Brighton at the start of the month.

With the Foxes game being moved, Barnsley FC will now slot in to the Tuesday April 9th slot, the match kicking off at 7:45pm.

That is good - eases the congestion in April.

Any news on Barnsley re-arranged date yet?

Any news on Barnsley re-arranged date yet?

I expect that will probably be on the 9th April now

That gives us 3 home games in 7 days.

On the BBC fixture list . Barnsley probably in April

Realistically it could only be a tuesday in April and either 9, 23 or 30th.

Good news, we really don't want to be playing catch up, which could easily happen if we had to play both Barnsley and Leicester in April.

Also means Leicester are playing Sat, Tue, Sat, Tue, Sat , Tue with us being the 6th game in 18 days.

We've got Sun, Sat, Tue, Tue so our squad should be fresher.

I'm on f*cking lates for both.

If I've brought a ticket before the Leicester game got moved, can I get a refund if I can't go or not?

I think you're ticket will still work for the game anyway.

No, I can't go to it anymore so can I get a refund?

Typical. 1st day of cheltenham races and I'm up there day and night!

Not sure, ring them up I would.. if you can't just try and sell it on!

It's a big game so if it was to be sold out then some fans would bite your hand for it!
