Carlisle United and their fans still have more than half of their season’s travelling to do in the space of just over three months.
The postponement of the Bradford City game means another match must be squeezed into a calendar which already includes many motorway miles.
The cancellation at Valley Parade leaves the Cumbrians still with ten away games to complete between now and May 8.
That list includes six of their longest nine trips.
United’s remaining travelling commitments come to 4,841.2 miles – some 51 per cent of their total mileage in the 2022/23 League Two season.
