Colchester vs Swindon off because of waterlogged pitch

Colchester finished 20th in League Two last season, with Swindon 10th

Saturday's League Two season opener between Colchester United and Swindon Town has been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.

Referee Anthony Backhouse deemed the pitch at the JobServe Community Stadium unplayable following a pitch inspection at 14:30 BST.

Colchester's ground staff were unable to get the game on following heavy rain in north Essex.

A new date for the match will be confirmed in due course.
