This weekend’s game against Blyth Spartans has been postponed.
Following a pitch inspection at noon on Thursday, it was found that the snow was over 12 inches deep in some parts of the pitch. The ground underneath was also frozen in sampled areas.
Consideration was also given to the surfaces around the stadium at Croft Park, and the local travel conditions which were labelled by the home club as “extreme”.
Earlier today the National League issued directives that early postponements would be considered due to the weather conditions around the country, allowing an early inspection to take place. The pitch and stadium fulfilled all the criteria for a postponement and Southport FC would like to thank Blyth Spartans, match referee Martin Woods, and the National League for their sensible and proactive approach.
A new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.
