This weekend’s away match has been postponed because of the condition of Melton Town’s artificial pitch.
Melton have apologised to players, officials and fans of both clubs as emergency work is carried out.
Melton Town have issued the following statement: “Unfortunately the club has had to postpone the match scheduled to take place this coming Saturday (28th January 2023) as the condition of the pitch has been deemed unsatisfactory. This is very disappointing for us as a club.
“Less than 18 months ago, we paid for a new FIFA Pro Quality 3G pitch, but unfortunately we have been let down as the current state of the pitch is not fit for purpose due to failing FIFA testing.
“We are having emergency remedial work carried out today and tomorrow but the pitch cannot be approved for use in advance of Saturday’s game. We are hopeful that this will not happen again and express our apologies to the players, officials and loyal fans of both clubs.”
The Poachers will now be left kicking their heels again this weekend for the second Saturday in a row.
Their next game is now their Lincs Senior Trophy semi-final away at Brigg Town on Wednesday 1 February, KO 7.45pm.
No new date has yet been announced for the rearranged Melton fixture.
