and live on Freeview channel 276
Following the wet weather last week that came on the back of one of the wettest March’s for years the league’s management board consulted with clubs on the state of their grounds and decided to postpone all last Saturday’s fixtures.
Members of the board visited many grounds and all 47 clubs responded to the consultation with the overwhelming view that grounds would not be ready for the scheduled start and 39 of the 47 respondents supported postponing the fixtures to a date later in the season.
