Barnsley's League One trip to Stevenage will now take place in April after February's scheduled game fell foul of a waterlogged pitch.

It means they face a run of six games out of eight away from home late in the season.

The game at Broadhall Way was due to be played on February 10 but the persistent rain of recent weeks forced it to be postponed – the last thing the Reds needed with such a busy schedule in the second half of the season.

Conor Hourihane's side have games in hand on every team in the division bar bottom-of-the-table Port Vale, and have played four fewer than Huddersfield Town's 32.

They have 75 days to play their remaining 18 games.

The Stevenage game has been rearranged for April 21, kicking off at 7.45pm.

It will be the third of four away games in five matches culminating in the trip to Luton Town on the Saturday, Barnsley's last scheduled game away from Oakwell in 2025-26.

Barnsley are 16th in League One, but are 12th on points per game.

Stevenage have dropped to ninth after an excellent start to the campaign but with games in hand too, they remain contenders for the play-offs.
