The scheduled clash between Portsmouth and Ipswich has been officially postponed.
Details: The reason is the critical condition of the Fratton Park pitch, which was deemed completely unplayable due to torrential rain. The refereeing team ruled that the match could not go ahead for the safety of the players.
The situation worsened as relentless rainfall continued throughout the night and into the day, leaving the pitch waterlogged and dotted with puddles, making it impossible for the ball to roll properly.
A new date for the fixture has yet to be announced.
Recall: English police detained three people after an explosive device injured a ball boy during the Portsmouth vs Southampton Championship match.
