Bolton Wanderers vs Blackpool Match Postponed Due to Waterlogged Pitch
Sky Sports has officially confirmed that the highly anticipated League One clash between Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool, scheduled for today, has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions leading to a waterlogged pitch at the University of Bolton Stadium.
Persistent heavy rainfall in the region over the past 48 hours left the playing surface unplayable, despite the best efforts of ground staff to clear standing water. Match officials conducted a pitch inspection this morning and deemed the conditions unsafe for players, officials, and fans.

Fans who purchased tickets for the game have been assured that they will be valid for the rescheduled fixture. Both clubs are working with the EFL to determine a new date, which will be announced shortly.
This postponement marks a setback for both sides, who are chasing promotion in a tightly contested League One season. Fans will now eagerly await the rearranged fixture, hoping for clearer skies and an uninterrupted matchday experience.
