Club text.
I particularly like this part of the story on the club site:
A local referee was due to inspect the pitch at 1pm, but due to the treacherous road conditions could not make it to the stadium...

Scandalous! How they they call it off without inspecting the pitch!
If they cancel Fulham-Pompey I will cry. It's bad enough I won't get to see Bobby Z.
Clubs always get shit from fans over pitch inspections, so it's only fair that the club gets a lot of credit for doing this.
Much better to call it now with the knowledge that the weather won't improve, unlike the situation at Wallsall last year, where they almost swore blind it would be on and the near farcical pitch inspection situation at Torquay last week.
I think you only need to look at the photo to realise there's no chance of the pitch being playable on Saturday
another tuesday night game then. Yet another ST not used
Absolutely.
This is a good call by all concerned. The Walsall call-off last year was farcical - I was just about to leave when I found out, and I only live 9 miles away. I felt sorry for the fans that were already in Birmingham before they found out.
