Posted Saturday, February 19, 2022 by PA
Storm Eunice took its toll on Saturday’s Football League programme as high winds and snow wreaked havoc across the country.
Salford’s Sky Bet League Two clash with Crawley on Saturday was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
The playing surface at the Peninsula Stadium was judged to be unplayable after a second inspection following continued heavy rain.
A statement on the cub’s official website read: “The surface passed a preliminary pitch inspection by the match official at 9am, with the officials due to return at 12:30pm.
“However rainfall continuously fell throughout the morning, and when we requested that the match referee return earlier to re-assess and he deemed the surface unplayable.”
In League One, heavy snow put pay to Fleetwood’s home clash with Lincoln.
Shrewsbury’s game with Morecambe at the Montgomery Waters Meadow was called off by a waterlogged pitch.
Blackburn’s fixture at home to Millwall got the go ahead after an inspection, with further checks due at other grounds ahead of kick-off.
