League Two: Games at Bradford, Colchester and Crawley off due to waterlogged pitches

Crawley's match at Broadfield Stadium was postponed more than 24 hours before the scheduled kick-off time

Saturday's League Two games at Bradford City and Colchester have been postponed because of waterlogged pitches.

The decision to call off Colchester's match against Stockport County was taken after a 09:00 GMT inspection.

Bradford's pitch passed a morning inspection but persistent heavy rain meant the game against Notts County was no longer playable.

"Conditions over the past few hours have meant the fixture can no longer be held," read a Bantams' statement.

"A meeting was held from 1.00pm today with managers of both teams to discuss all options, including the possibility of a later kick-off time.

"The match officials gave the match every opportunity to be played, which we believed it could....we would like to take this opportunity to apologise to supporters planning on attending the game for the inconvenience caused.

Crawley Town's home fixture against Barrow was postponed on Friday.

With the Bluebirds facing a 650-mile round trip, a local official was called to inspect the Broadfield Stadium surface following heavy rain.

After discussions with the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, which manages professional refereeing in England, and with the English Football League, it was decided to postpone the game.

Barrow complained to the EFL after last Saturday's home match with Bradford was called off just over an hour before kick-off.
