Match had to be postponed

There was no option than to postpone this evening's League One game at Huish Park. Very heavy rain from around 5pm left the ground completely waterlogged.

Although there had been some rain, the conditions at 3.30pm were such that no inspection was planned. By this time most, if not all, of Hereford United support would have been en-route to Somerset.

The decision to postpone was taken about 6.25pm. The Hereford United team coach arrived at the ground around that time. The only reasonable complaint against Yeovil was that they took much too long to inform the media.

BBC Radio Somerset was still telling their listeners the game was on as many Hereford United supporters were on their way back from Huish Park. In fact it was about 25 minutes after the game was called off that the station relayed the news.

The game is now expected to be played on Tuesday April 21st.

Supporters are reminded to keep their tickets from this evening's game. However anyone can not make the rearranged date will probably have seven days to return their tickets for a refund after the date is confirmed.

Meanwhile had the game gone ahead, one group of supporters might have missed the start. The FUNBUS encountered mechanical problems and had to keep to the slow lane going down the motorway.
