Blues Denied by Big Freeze

Saturday, 20 January 2024 09:08

There was an early morning pitch inspection at Whitby Town on Saturday.

Sadly the weather won.

Temperatures were higher than in recent days with temperatures above freezing but the pitch at the Towbar Express Stadium was still frozen solid.

The match was called off around 8.45am.

❌🥶 Today's fixture against @LancasterCityFC has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

A date for the rearranged fixture will be announced in due course.

Town were due to host Lancaster City.

They're back in action at home to Matlock Town on Tuesday.
