Sky Sports News has confirmed that the League Two match between Leyton Orient and Colchester United has been postponed. The decision comes as a result of adverse weather conditions, specifically heavy rain and flooding that have made the pitch unplayable. Safety concerns for both players and fans were paramount, leading match officials to call off the game.
The match was scheduled to take place at Leyton Orient’s Brisbane Road, where the heavy downpour has resulted in waterlogging across the pitch. This weather disruption is not only a setback for the teams but also for the supporters who were eager to see their clubs compete. The club’s grounds staff had been working diligently to assess the situation, but unfortunately, conditions did not improve in time for the match.
A new date for the fixture has yet to be announced, with both clubs now focusing on upcoming matches in their schedules. Fans are advised to keep an eye on official club channels for updates regarding ticketing and rescheduling information. The safety of everyone involved remains the top priority, and both teams look forward to returning to action once conditions permit.
