The lower tiers of football in any country are often filled with quirky situations that are unlikely to happen in the top divisions. One such incident occurred in the ninth tier of English football.
Details: A match in the Northern League Division One between Sycam Red Star and West Allotment Celtic was called off due to a large amount of... goose droppings on the field.
It is reported that the referee gave the home team 15 minutes to clear the field of foreign objects, which they managed to do. However, the away team still refused to play, although they claim it was the home team that didn’t want to take to the field.
Reminder: The Northern League Division One is the fifth level of non-professional football and the ninth tier in the overall hierarchy of English football.
