Fleetwood Town owner Andy Pilley is set to miss the biggest cup match in the club's history after finding himself stranded in Haiti.

Pilley, whose millions propelled League One Fleetwood through six divisions in nine years, is on a Caribbean cruise with his family.

He had hoped to return for Saturday's FA Cup third round clash against Leicester City but his elaborate travel plans have fallen through.
