Arsenal Women’s FA Cup tie at home to Bristol City scheduled for Sunday afternoon has been postponed due to a frozen pitch. The Women’s FA Cup Fourth Round has been decimated by freezing weather conditions across England.
Boreham Wood’s home game was postponed earlier today and with temperatures not set to rise at all in Hertfordshire before tomorrow’s game, a decision has been taken to postpone it now. The kickoff had been moved from 12.30 to 3pm earlier this week in hope of giving the game a better chance of going ahead.
The tie will be rescheduled and Arsenal will notify supporters of the new date and kickoff time in due course.
Far too risky to play on a frozen pitch; could result in lower limb injury
Given this weather stuff happens every January why not give the players another few weeks of winter break?
