Oliver - I had no choice but to call it off

Problem area: Railway End

The pitch passed an afternoon inspection only to cancelled an hour before the scheduled kick off.

Oliver explained: ''I had no choice but to call the game off.

'At 4 o'clock we had a pitch inspection and both managers were happy with the state of the pitch - so I passed it as playable.

'But the temperature unexpectedly dropped quite dramatically around 6.30pm and we had another pitch inspection.

''Because of player safety I had to call the game off.

''I'm pretty sure neither manager would have liked it if they had lost a goal to a slip'', he concluded.
