The Sky Bet League One match between Shrewsbury Town and Exeter City has been officially postponed. The announcement came following concerns over severe weather conditions, which have rendered the pitch unplayable. Heavy rainfall in the region over the past few days has caused waterlogging at Montgomery Waters Meadow, leading to the postponement.
Safety concerns for both players and fans were also factors in the decision. Despite efforts to make the pitch playable, the continued rain forced the club and match officials to prioritize safety. Shrewsbury Town issued a statement expressing their disappointment but emphasized that the decision was made in the best interest of everyone involved.
Both clubs will now work with the EFL to reschedule the fixture, with a new date to be confirmed in due course. Fans who have purchased tickets are advised to keep them, as they will remain valid for the rearranged game. Those unable to attend the new date will be offered a full refund. The postponement is a setback for both teams, who are eager to return to league action and continue their respective campaigns.
