Bradford P-P Barnsley: Match postponed due to waterlogged pitch
Tuesday 6 October 2015 21:42, UK
The Johnstone's Paint Trophy second-round tie between Bradford and Barnsley at Valley Parade was called off 10 minutes before the scheduled kick-off time of 7.45pm.
Berkshire referee Trevor Kettle declared the pitch to be unsafe as a thunderstorm 40 minutes before the match was due to start had left patches of the playing surface waterlogged.
A tweet from Bradford's official account read: "Unfortunately the heavy rain has made parts of the pitch unplayable, the ball simply wasn't rolling or bouncing when tested by the officials."
