League One fixture moved and set to be staged live on Sky TV
Tranmere Rovers' away game against Oldham, due to be played on March 27th, has been moved back a day to Monday 28th March and will now be played live on Sky TV.
The game, originally set to take place on Saturday 26th March, was firstly moved to the Sunday to avoid England's World Cup Qualifier with Wales, but has ow been swithced again for Sky Sports.
The game will kick off at 7.45pm and will be Tranmere's first live TV game of the season, following three live TV games last season, which saw them beat Norwich 3-1 and lose to Stockport 1-0 on Sky Sports, as well as losing 1-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the F.A. Cup on the F.A.'s website.
Rovers traditionally however do have a bad record when playing games live on TV, losing further matches to Bristol City, Luton, Cardiff, Millwall, Gillingham and Hartlepool on TV in recent years.
In other news, Tranmere's reserve fixture against Morecambe, due to take place tonight at Prenton Park, has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
This news is a further set back for Tranmere midfielder Alan Mahon, who's return to the first team from injury is still some way away due to a lack of match fitness, something not helped by several postponed reserve games in the last month.
