SKY CONFIRM: Chesterfield vs Barrow Match Postponed
The highly anticipated League Two clash between Chesterfield and Barrow has been officially postponed. The match, originally scheduled to take place at the SMH Group Stadium, has been called off due to adverse weather conditions causing safety concerns.
Heavy rain over the past 48 hours has left the pitch waterlogged, making it unplayable. Club officials and matchday staff conducted an inspection earlier today, confirming that the field failed to meet safety and performance standards for competitive football. Additionally, concerns over travel safety for fans and players influenced the decision.
Chesterfield released a statement expressing disappointment, stating: “We regret to inform our supporters of the postponement. Ensuring the safety of everyone involved is paramount. We are working closely with Barrow AFC and the EFL to reschedule the fixture as soon as possible.”
Barrow echoed these sentiments, urging fans to retain their tickets, which will remain valid for the rearranged date.
