Boston Town supporters have voiced their frustration after crazy scenes unfolded in the snow at Melton Town.
The game was abandoned after half-time with the Poachers leading 3-0.
The fixture had already been postponed twice because of problems with Melton’s 3G pitch but finally kicked off tonight, with plenty of snow already on the pitch and more falling.
Martyn Bunce’s side made light of the blizzard conditions to go into the interval 3-0 up thanks to a double strike from Jordan Nuttell and a goal from George Hobbins.
A tractor was summoned at the break to clear some of the snow so the rest of the match could be played – only for the officials to decide to call it off, much to the bemusement of many observers.
Kevin Oxford said on Twitter: “3 up only for the game to be called off, so much for all weather pitches.”
Marc Webber added: “This is a shocking decision by the United Counties officials. Where’s the money coming from to fund the rearranged fixture?”
Roger Smith said: “Boston were giving Melton a lesson on how to play in those conditions. Think it was farcical not to try.”
And Matthew Goy said: “What a joke, did the ref not see the weather reports?”
Tom Carter and Darren Trapps, commentators for Lincolnshire Non-League Radio, agreed that the Poachers should be awarded the points.
