Northampton and Hartlepool have agreed to switch both fixtures between the two clubs in the coming season to Friday evenings.

The game at Sixfields will be played on Friday October 10 and has been moved to avoid a clash with an England World Cup qualifier on the Saturday.

The game at Victoria Park will be played on Friday January 16 and that change has been made at the request of the home club.

Both games will kick off at 7.45pm.
