Blackpool's FA Cup clash with Forest Green Rovers is POSTPONED after an FA investigation into the League Two strugglers

Blackpool's FA Cup Round Two clash with Forest Green Rovers has been postponed, having been due to take place on Saturday afternoon.

The Seasiders were set to welcome the League Two strugglers to Bloomfield Road at 3pm, having seen off the challenge of Bromley in the First Round, beating the non-league outfit 2-0. 

The visitors meanwhile needed a replay to fend off Scarborough Athletic to set up the clash with the former Premier League side a division above them.

However, the tie has now been postponed as a result of an FA investigation into Forest Green Rovers, confirmed by the club, who have promised to 'comply' with the governing body and will update supporters on the situation in the coming days. 

Blackpool confirmed that the game had been postponed with an official statement published on their website. 

'The Club can confirm Saturday's FA Cup second round tie at home to Forest Green Rovers has been postponed,' the statement read.

'This decision has been made by the FA due to an investigation in relation to a matter involving Forest Green Rovers.

'Blackpool Football Club would like to apologise to supporters for the inconvenience this has caused and is disappointed to be informed of this news at such short notice.

'Further details on the outcome of the investigation will be announced in due course.'

Forest Green Rovers equally informed followers of the development, taking to social media to confirm an investigation from the FA.

'Forest Green Rovers are aware of an FA investigation, meaning our FA Cup tie against Blackpool tomorrow is postponed,' they wrote.

'We will comply with the FA in their investigation and will provide a full update to supporters in the coming days once the investigation is complete.'
