Following a pitch inspection this afternoon, we can confirm tonight’s fixture against AFC Telford United has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

This morning, the pitch was in a good condition, however following a heavy persistent downpour, standing water has appeared on the pitch surface.

Our volunteers and ground team have been clearing the surface water as much as possible, however with the forecast showing rain showers throughout the rest of the day and due to the distances involved for our opponents and their supporters, a decision was taken early to inspect the pitch by the officials, which subsequently failed.

The original date for the tie, which was scheduled at the weekend, was postponed at the weekend due to a frozen and partially waterlogged pitch. Since then, the club have verti-drained the pitch and prior to this downpour, the surface was in a good condition prior to the heavy downpour.

A new date for the fixture will be announced in due-course following discussions with The FA.

We would like to apologise to all supporters for the inconvenience caused.
