YELLOWS' game against Winchester City at the Ian Moorcroft Stadium will now take place on Tuesday, February 27.
The Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South match, which kicks off at 7.45pm, was originally scheduled for Saturday, February 10, but had to be postponed because of a rain-sodden pitch.
The new date means that Tivvy will now have three home games inside eight days, as the Winchester visit follows a rearranged evening match with Dorchester Town on Tuesday, February 20 and a Saturday afternoon clash with Gosport Borough on February 24
Games between Tivvy and the Citizens have been fraught with difficulty this season. The fixture in Hampshire was postponed twice.
The original date, Saturday, September 30, was ruled out because of Winchester's involvement in the third qualifying round of the Emirates FA Cup.
A subsequent attempt to play the game, on Tuesday, December 12, was postponed after the rain sodden playing surface at the Simplyhealth City Ground failed to pass muster at an afternoon inspection.
When the match was eventually played, on January 30, Winchester won 2-1 despite Yellows taking the lead through Joe Parker, and goalkeeper Zak Baker saving a penalty.
