Southport match called off after downpour

Club statement.

Unfortunately after a very heavy downpour around 1pm the pitch was holding water and the match referee decided the pitch was unfit for play.

Fans have taken to social media to vent their anger.

I have been to every away game bar one this season and I haven't seen a pitch as bad as ours.  How do we have the most expensive pitch in the league and the worst?

Cant believe how much money has gone into that pitch and this is happening. Missed out on a decent crowd and a few quid there.

Why not delay kick off and get forking, the last thing anybody needs is more postponements

Unfair of the ref to do this at such short notice. Seems to have been zero effort on his part to get the game on. Fewer people will go to a rearranged Tuesday game so costing the club potentially £000s. Spare a thought also for the caterers who will lose everything today

.It’s an hour and 15 away cmon

Ridiculous,how much has been spent on that pitch
