“There has been no choice but to postpone the game”: National League North's top-two showdown is called off
AFC Fylde’s National League North match at South Shields on Tuesday night has been postponed as a result of the wet weather caused by Storm Chandra.
Craig Mahon’s players had been due to visit South Shields in a match featuring the top two sides in the division.
However, the game was called off following a 2pm pitch inspection at the 1st Cloud Arena.
Announcing the decision, South Shields said: “With heavy parts of the pitch waterlogged and a continued forecast of rain, there has been no choice but to postpone the game.
“We will bring news of the rearranged fixture when the information arises.
“Tickets already purchased will be eligible for the rearranged game.”
Tonight’s postponement means Fylde have a free midweek before returning to action on Saturday.
That sees the Coasters bidding to reach the last eight of the FA Trophy, when they host Southport at Mill Farm in round five.
