The match between Morecambe and Port Vale has been rescheduled due to unforeseen circumstances related to adverse weather conditions. Heavy rain and flooding in the area had made the pitch at Morecambe’s stadium unplayable, causing safety concerns for both players and spectators. The local authorities and the clubs involved, after consulting with match officials and ground staff, agreed that postponing the fixture was the best course of action to ensure the well-being of everyone involved.
This decision comes after a series of weather disruptions that have affected several fixtures in the league. The safety of the players, coaching staff, and supporters is always the top priority, and with the current state of the pitch and the forecast for continued rainfall, playing the match was not deemed feasible.
The Football League (EFL) has announced that a new date for the match will be set in due course, taking into consideration both teams’ fixtures and availability. Fans who had tickets for the original date will be informed about the rescheduling and how they can use or return their tickets.
Both Morecambe and Port Vale have expressed their apologies for the inconvenience and appreciate the understanding of their supporters during this unpredictable situation.
