FOOTBALL - ​Bromsgrove Rovers AFC see cup tie switched after second postponement

Bromsgrove Editorial 15th Jan, 2025 Updated: 15th Jan, 2025   0

BROMSGROVE ROVERS AFC’s rescheduled Holder cup fixture against Hampton Sports fell victim to the weather again, resulting in the hosts forfeiting home advantage, writes Neil Gordon.

Sub-zero overnight temperatures put pay to the fixture at Field Mill Lane last weekend, with the playing surface deemed unplayable.

It was the second attempt at staging the tie after Storm Darragh had forced the postponement of the original fixture last month.

Hampton Sports have now forfeited home advantage in line with competition rules.

Bromsgrove will host the rescheduled fixture at Charford Road on Saturday, January 18 with kick-off at 2.30pm and admission free.
