Turnstiles will open at 13:00 BST, and with an exciting match in store, another brilliant day out for everyone awaits.

As the ultimate family day out, a family of four non-Members (two adults and two children) can take advantage of a group offer and buy their tickets for just £25.

Season Ticket holders and Members can book tickets at even lower prices.

Tickets are also available on the gate – although prices are discounted if booked online (even if booked on-the-day) via cpfc.co.uk.

Supporters who had purchased tickets for the original fixture will be able to attend the rearranged game with their original ticket – if you cannot make the new date, please contact the box office to request a refund.
