Northampton Town’s scheduled match against Reading has been postponed due to international call-ups.
The Cobblers were originally scheduled to play Reading at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in a 3pm kick-off next Saturday (06/09).
However, the postponement has been requested due to international call-ups and has been granted, with the game now to be rescheduled for an undisclosed future date.
Northampton advised fans in a statement to remain in contact over confirmation for the fixture’s rescheduling.
They said, “Supporters who purchased tickets for the original game are asked to keep those tickets safe as they will be valid for the rearranged date. Refund details for anyone who cannot make the new date will be confirmed when that new date is announced.”

Tahith Chong has left Luton Town after signing a deal to join Championship outfit Sheffield United.
The 25-year-old signed for the Blades on an undisclosed fee, with Chong signing a four year contract at Bramall Lane up until the summer of 2029.
The deal sees Chong leave Luton after two years contracted to the club. He made 69 appearances for Luton in two years with the club after joining the Hatters from Birmingham City.
In his time with the club, he scored 7 times at the club, including 4 in the Premier League during Luton’s stint there in the 2023/24 season.
In a brief statement, Luton Town said, “Tahith leaves with our thanks for his service and best wishes of all at the Club for his future career.”
Chong told the official Sheffield United website that he was delighted to make the move to South Yorkshire.
He said, “I am very happy that this was done so quickly and that I’m here now.
“I’ll be honest, as I’m speaking right now, it has been 48 hours or so, so everything has moved very quickly, and that’s compliments to the club as well to get everything sorted out so quick.
“When you think of Sheffield United, you think of a big club and as soon as I heard, I was obviously very interested and very keen to sign.
“I’ve had two years at Luton, had some ups and downs, but now 100 per cent ready for a fresh start.”

Milton Keynes City Council’s have unveiled new parts to their arts and heritage trail, named Look Again.
The trail has been extended with eight information boards and over 20 additional artwork plaques across the city centre. The latest additions are being unveiled in time for this year’s Heritage Open Days, running from 12–21 September.
First introduced in 2024, Look Again is intended to highlight Milton Keynes’ modern heritage, art, architecture and design while sharing stories of the people and places that shaped the city.
The trail now spans across the city centre, covering the area between Station Square and Campbell Park. Each sign includes a QR code linking to www.lookagainmk.city where visitors can explore the history behind individual artwork, buildings, green spaces and the people who created them.
To mark the new phase of the trail, a programme of walks, talks and film events will take place throughout September, featuring contributions from All Flows organisers Pooleyville, local creatives and university students researching Milton Keynes’ design history. Later in the autumn, MK Lit Fest will host two author-inspired sound walks, with details to be published on the website.
Further event listings and booking information are available via the trail’s archive site: www.mkarchive.city.
Look Again has been developed by the city council, using funding from developers and in partnership with Buckinghamshire Archives, Milton Keynes City Discovery Centre and Living Archive Milton Keynes. The city council is encouraging trail users to share their feedback via the website to help shape the project’s future growth.
Cabinet Member for Planning and Placemaking, Cllr Shanika Mahendran, said, “We’ve got a unique story to tell here in Milton Keynes and Look Again is a brilliant way of helping people rediscover the city’s design, heritage and art. The new additions look really good and make the trail even more engaging. I encourage residents and visitors to take the opportunity to get involved and see the city from a new perspective.”

Police are appealing for witnesses to a stabbing in Milton Keynes in the Bradville area of the city.
The appeal relates to an incident that happened around 4.25pm yesterday (28/8), when officers from Thames Valley Police were called to altercation between four men in Crispin Road, Bradville, and that one of the men had been stabbed.
Police officers attended the scene and started first aid before handing over to paramedics.
The victim, a man in his twenties, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he remains in a stable condition.
Two men, aged 25 and 33, both from Milton Keynes, have been arrested on suspicion of Section 18 wounding with intent and remain in police custody.
Detective Sergeant Samuel Summers, based at Milton Keynes police station, said, “I understand this incident will be concerning for people but we believe this to be an isolated incident with no threat to the wider public.
“People will see an increased police presence in the Bradville area due to the scene, our investigation and extra patrols. Please speak to a uniformed officer if you have any concerns.
“Anybody with any information that may assist us is urged to contact Thames Valley Police, either online or by calling 101, quoting reference 43250440747.

“Our officers and staff are working tirelessly with partners, including our communities, to tackle serious violence and knife crime.”

Former MK Dons man Darragh Burns played a part as League 2 Grimsby Town pulled off a famous cup upset by knocking Manchester United out of the Carabao Cup.
The 23-year-old registered an assist and scored two penalties after the Mariners beat the Premier League giants at Blundell Park. Grimsby initially held a 2-0 lead that Manchester United pulled back to 2-2, before the Mariners won 12-11 in a penalty shoot-out.
Burns registered an assist for the home side’s opening goal, with Charles Vernam receiving the Irish winger’s cross before firing in a low shot that beat Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana to give the hosts a 22nd minute lead.
The lead would be doubled when a mistake by Onana lead to the ball being bundled home by Tyrell Warren 8 minutes later, after the former Inter Milan goalkeeper fumbled a Grimsby corner.
A game that then featured a heavy rainstorm would see the visitors claw their way back on level terms, as Bryan Mbuemo made it 2-1 before Harry Maguire’s equaliser in the 89th minute.
Manchester United would miss chances to win it, but with no further goals in 90 minutes, the tie went to penalties.
Burns scored with Grimsby’s second penalty, but it looked as though the tie was about to get away from the League Two side when Clarke Oduor saw his spot-kick saved by Onana.
With every other one of Grimsby’s 5 penalties scored, it meant a successful penalty by Matheus Cunha would see Manchester United book their place in the Third Round.
As it was, however, Cunha saw his penalty saved by home goalkeeper Christy Pym, meaning that the shootout was 4-4 after the first 5 kicks for each side and that it would reach sudden death.
Every other player would score, however, meaning after 11 penalties each with 10 scored by each side, the shootout carried on.
After each side scored their 12th penalty, this meant Burns would step up for a second time, and he would see his spot-kick beat Onana.
That would end up being crucial, as Mbuemo hit the crossbar with Manchester United’s 13th penalty, allowing Grimsby to win the tie and pull off a famous upset in the competition.
Grimsby will face Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in the Third Round, with the South Yorkshire club having booked their place in Round 3 by pulling off their own upset after beating Premier League side Leeds United on penalties.
Burns had joined MK Dons in 2022, with the winger joining the Dons from Irish side St Patrick’s Athletic.
However, the Irishman struggled for game time with the Dons, making just 24 appearances in all competitions in two and a half years contracted to the club, with his last league appearance coming in February 2023.
After returning to Ireland on loan with Shamrock Rovers in 2024, Burns moved to Grimsby in January 2025.
