SKY CONFIRM: Shrewsbury Town vs Birmingham City Match Postponed
The highly anticipated fixture between Shrewsbury Town and Birmingham City, originally scheduled for this weekend, has been officially postponed. The decision was made following adverse weather conditions that have rendered the Montgomery Waters Meadow pitch unplayable.
Severe rainstorms over the past week have caused widespread flooding in the area, leaving sections of the playing surface waterlogged despite the club’s best efforts. Ground staff worked tirelessly to prepare the pitch, but the persistent downpour ultimately left the surface unsafe for players.
In a statement, Shrewsbury Town expressed their disappointment: “We regret to announce the postponement of this weekend’s match. Player and fan safety is paramount, and under the current conditions, it would not be possible to proceed. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and will work closely with Birmingham City and the EFL to reschedule the fixture.”
Fans who purchased tickets are advised to retain them, as they will remain valid for the rearranged game. Further updates, including the new match date, are expected to follow in due course.
Birmingham City also extended their support to Shrewsbury Town, emphasizing the importance of ensuring safe conditions for all involved. Both clubs look forward to a competitive encounter when conditions allow.
