The match between Doncaster Rovers and Salford City has been rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances, specifically related to weather conditions. Persistent heavy rainfall in the days leading up to the scheduled fixture caused the pitch at Doncaster’s Keepmoat Stadium to become waterlogged, making it unfit for play. Safety concerns were raised, as the surface could pose a risk of injury to players, and the integrity of the match could be compromised by such conditions.
In line with football governing bodies’ regulations, the game was therefore postponed to ensure that both teams could compete under fair and safe conditions. The decision was made in consultation with the match officials, grounds staff, and both clubs, who all agreed that rescheduling was the best option to maintain the quality and fairness of the competition.
The Football League has now confirmed a new date for the match, and both Doncaster Rovers and Salford City are looking forward to resuming their respective campaigns. Supporters are advised to check official club channels for the updated schedule and any further ticketing or attendance information.
This rescheduling follows a string of recent weather disruptions affecting fixtures across various leagues, with clubs and officials working together to ensure that matches are played under the safest possible conditions.
