Extensive flooding damaged AFC Wimbledon's pitch ahead of their postponed Carabao Cup clash against Newcastle

The Carabao Cup third-round tie between AFC Wimbledon and Newcastle has been rescheduled due to flooding around the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

The match, which was set to kick off at 7.45pm on Tuesday, has now been rescheduled to take place on Tuesday October 1 at St James' Park and will be shown live on Sky Sports+.

More than £50,000 has been raised on the Just Giving page aimed at supporting AFC Wimbledon following the flood damage at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

The initial target was £10,000 but that figure has more than quintupled in just over 24 hours.

AFC Wimbledon will be back in action on Saturday at home to Accrington Stanley in a 3pm kick-off, should the flooding at their stadium subside sufficiently.

Newcastle host Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday at 12.30pm.
