The match between Burton Albion and Crawley Town has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances related to weather conditions. The pitch at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium has been deemed unplayable due to heavy rainfall in the lead-up to the scheduled fixture. The continuous downpour has left parts of the pitch waterlogged, making it unsafe for play and unlikely to improve in time for the scheduled match.
The club’s grounds team, in collaboration with match officials, carried out extensive inspections, but unfortunately, the condition of the pitch failed to meet the necessary standards for competitive football. As a result, the decision was made to call off the match, ensuring the safety of players and officials.
Both clubs and the Football League have expressed regret over the disruption, acknowledging that such weather conditions are outside of anyone’s control. Supporters are urged to retain their tickets, as they will remain valid for the rescheduled date, which is expected to be announced soon. Further details will be provided once a new date for the fixture has been confirmed.
Fans are advised to keep an eye on official club communications and league updates for any further developments.
