Re: Rotherham v Ipswich
Pitch perfectly playable but the River Don has burst its banks.
From Rotherham:
"After the River Don burst its banks, urgent discussions between representatives from the Safety Advisory Group/Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, South Yorkshire Police and club safety personnel and the EFL were held with the conclusion deeming the weather conditions and their subsequent effect on the surrounding area a danger to supporters.
"This coupled with continued rainfall resulting in the flood waters rising and Don Street being closed to the public left the authorities with no choice but to postpone the game.
"Throughout the day the pitch has remained playable but with the safety of everyone attending the match at the height of our priorities, the difficult decision to postpone the fixture has been taken."

Re: Rotherham v Ipswich
Just read they were bringing 2500 fans as well. No surprise looks like there has been some serious flooding.ClaretsPadiham wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 5:51 pmWas meant to be the live game on Sky Sports tonight has just been called off at 5pm due to concerns for the safety of the supporters.

Re: Rotherham v Ipswich
The posh people around Bray winged about the Thames flooding their gardens a few years back and a run off branch was made costing millions but now no flooding in Bray/Maidenhead area
