A failed pitch inspection was the cause.
Worthing FC’s fixture against Bognor Regis Town today is postponed until tomorrow after a failed pitch inspection meant there was an emergency meeting between the clubs.
Worthing say they don’t take that decision lightly and are wanting to get as many games under the belt as they can - given the uncertainty with covid causing matches to b cancelled.
The club says:
For transparency with our supporters, the sequence of events this morning were as follows.
At around 11am the club were made aware that the match was subject to a pitch inspection, to be held at 11.30am.
Ahead of the inspection (at around 11.15am) our First Team Manager was contacted by an official at Bognor to ask that if the game was postponed, would we like to play the fixture tomorrow.
Our manager said that from a footballing point of view, we would. It should be made clear that at this point, despite social media posts being issued by the home team, no official decision between the two club secretaries had been made.
Once we were informed that the pitch inspection had failed, our club management committee met online to discuss the offer to play tomorrow. This meeting was held at 1.15pm and at 1.30pm the club secretaries spoke and formally agreed the decision to re-arrange the fixture to tomorrow.
