Quoted from Kris2


Mostly the result of it being incredibly dry for weeks until this storm hit so the ground doesn't drain as well as it normally would.


I’m no expert in irrigation but I’m sure there’s something in that. Just appears to be something that affects us disproportionately at this time of year.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

A couple of other EFL games have been postponed, I'd expect a few others to be abandoned.

Pitch completely unplayable by the end there. Is that the third game called off at BP for a waterlogged pitch in August in the last 5 years? Wigan and Macclesfield spring to mind prior to tonight.

Bad luck, climate change or merely the result of a 120 year old drainage system which is simply no longer fit for purpose?


Just a crazy dry summer and a downpour. The ground can’t soak it away quick enough due to the hardness underneath. Unlucky timing

Heat wave last week.... Match abandoned due to flood this week.
Only in England.


That tackle was worth my £10 prescription Glennon made

That's why there has been flooding in parts of the UK today. Too much rainfall in a short period of time that the ground is too dry to absorb fast enough.

But the pitch has been heavily watered all summer.
