Reading have confirmed that the trip to Stockport County, which was originally scheduled for next month, will now take place in October.

The Hatters have made a strong start to life back in the third tier, rising from the sixth tier into the third over the last seven years, with successive wins.

Sat top of the league after three match weeks, a trip to Edgeley Park is proving a tough ask so far.

However, the Royals will no longer be making the trip to Lancashire on September 7 due to international call-ups.

What would have been a first trip to Stockport since 1998, the Royals have not won at Edgelely Park since 1971.

Former Royal, Ollie Norwood, has signed a three-year deal with Stockport after his long association with Sheffield United came to an end.

The date has now been confirmed as Tuesday, October 29.

Trips to Barnsley and Shrewsbury Town also currently fall on dates for international breaks so they look unlikely to go ahead as originally planned.
