SKY CONFIRM: “Middlesbrough Vs Stoke City” Match Postponed Due to Waterlogged Pitch
The highly anticipated EFL Championship clash between Middlesbrough and Stoke City, scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions. Continuous heavy rainfall over the past few days has left the Riverside Stadium pitch waterlogged, making it unplayable.

Middlesbrough released a statement confirming the postponement, citing player safety and the integrity of the game as top priorities.
Fans who had already made travel plans for the fixture expressed disappointment, with many taking to social media to voice their frustration. However, both clubs assured supporters that their tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled match, and further updates will follow shortly.
Stoke City also issued a statement emphasizing their support for the decision, recognizing the unpredictable nature of British weather. Both teams will now await news on the rearranged fixture, with hopes that conditions improve to avoid further disruptions to the season’s calendar.
