Stockport game at Bristol postponed at mid-day

Many Stockport supporters were well on their way to Bristol Rovers this lunchtime when their game was called off.

A pitch inspection took place at 12 noon as supporters coaches were heading down the M5.

The Bristol pitch has been waterlogged several times recently. The last time Hereford visited Rovers back in early January the pitch was hardly playable.

However some Stockport supporters were incensed at the postponement and took pictures of the ground to try and prove their point.

A few Stockport supporters diverted back to Hereford and were beleived to have attended this afternoon's game at Edgar Street.

The late postponement of this game is the second time in two weeks that supporters of a League Two club have had to turn around well after leaving their destination.

Hereford supporters received news that there recent game against Chester was off just two hours before the kick-off which had already been put back an hour.
