The Carabao Cup Round Three tie between AFC Wimbledon and Newcastle United will now be played at St. James’ Park on Tuesday 1 October, kick-off 7:45pm.

The original fixture between the two sides was due to take place on Tuesday 24 September at the Cherry Red Records Stadium but was postponed due to extensive flooding of the River Wandle and surrounding areas, including the stadium of AFC Wimbledon.

Following an agreement between both Clubs and subsequent approval from the management committee of the competition, the fixture will now be reversed and will take place a week later at St. James’ Park.

As a result, AFC Wimbledon’s Sky Bet League Two fixture against Crewe Alexandra, due to take place on Tuesday 1 October, will now be rearranged for a later date.

Further details will be announced in due course regarding the fixture rearrangement.
