NEWPORT County AFC’s Sky Bet League Two clash with Carlisle United at Rodney Parade this autumn has been switched to a 1pm kick-off.

The match, on Saturday, November 12, is two hours earlier than originally planned due to the rugby and football internationals in Cardiff later that day.

Wales’ rugby players face Argentina at the Principality Stadium (5.30pm) before the footballers take on Serbia at the Cardiff City Stadium (7.45pm).

County fans have been advised to plan ahead to avoid any potential disruption on the day of the game.

Despite negotiations between both the Exiles and Carlisle, a mutual agreement to play the fixture on an alternative day couldn’t be reached.
