TONIGHT'S Elite League semi final play-off first leg between Swindon Robins and Birmingham has been postponed due to the adverse weather.

Swindon will now travel to Birmingham next Monday, October 1, for the rearranged tie.

And that means a new date has to be confirmed for the return leg at the Abbey Stadium.

Swindon's co-owner Gary Patchett said: "The weather has caused havoc with the entire season so it’s no surprise it’s come back to hit us again.

“It’s certainly beyond our control and we are doing everything within our power to get the fixtures re-arranged quickly so we will be at Birmingham next Monday.

“The second leg at Swindon will be announced in due course.”
