Scunthorpe meeting off

THE Premier League match between Plymouth and Scunthorpe, due to have taken place at the St Boniface Arena on Saturday evening, was postponed because of an adverse weather forecast of heavy rain in the area throughout the evening.

Co-promoter Ashley Taylor made the decision at around 8am after checking the local forecast.

He said: "Rain was due to start at around 5pm and the forecast for the rest of the evening is horrendous.

"Bearing in mind the distance involved with travelling for the Scunthorpe riders, officials and spectators it was in everyone’s best interest to make an early decision."

A new date has still to be agreed for the re-staging of the meeting.
