But after a delayed inspection referee Carl Boyeson took the decision to call the game off because it was unsafe to play.

The club have said that p​​​​urchased tickets for their postponed game will remain valid for the rescheduled fixture. If you cannot attend that game then a full refund can be issued.

It's not the only game the weather has forced officials to cancel.
