Fixture latest: New date set for Hartlepool United's trip to Barrow

The clash will now take place on Tuesday, April 10, kick off 7.45pm.

The original fixture was called off back on Saturday, February 10 due to a waterlogged pitch at Barrow's Holker Street ground.

Pools hold talks with Chelsea Champions League winner and ex-Sunderland coachAfter the call off, then manager Craig Harrison said: "The postponement was a nightmare but I guess it was in keeping with the way things have been going for us.

"The feeling I got from the players when we told them the game was off was just frustration because there was a confidence we could go to Barrow and get the three points.

"On the plus side, it’s a little more recovery time for one or two and another week on the training pitch so that’s good.
