Crawley Town's upcoming League Two fixture against Barnet has been postponed. The match, scheduled for Saturday 26 September at the Broadfield Stadium, will be rescheduled after Barnet confirmed they have three or more players called up for international duty.
Barnet said in a statement: "We can confirm that two of our upcoming Sky Bet League Two fixtures have been postponed due to international call-ups." The other postponed game is Barnet's home match against York City on 3 October. Under EFL rules, a club can request a postponement if it has players selected who meet specific appearance criteria for their national teams.
Rescheduling talks begin
Discussions are now underway between Crawley Town, Barnet, and the football authorities to find a new date and kick-off time. This leaves a gap in the schedule for Scott Lindsey's side, who currently sit 23rd in League Two with four points from six matches. Their next engagement is a trip to face sixth-placed Grimsby Town this Saturday.
The postponement comes during a challenging spell for Crawley, whose recent form reads one win, one draw, and three defeats from their last five outings. They suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Cheltenham in their most recent league game. The team will now have an unexpected break before the Barnet game is eventually played, with the new date to be confirmed in due course. The club's current league position and recent results are detailed in our standings section.
