Ross Juniors FC has been flooded three times this season and will not play at home again this year.
A grassroots Herefordshire football club has said the continued flooding of its home is presenting "more and more of a challenge".
Members of Ross Juniors FC are used to the club's home at Ross-on-Wye Sports Centre on Wilton Road being flooded once or twice a year."We've had flooding in October, flooding in November, and now flooding in December," said committee member Paul Flitney. "So we're estimating… we've probably lost seven to eight weeks of the season for home fixtures.
"We're having to postpone games, we're having to ask opponents if we can play them at their place," he said, "or look for expensive facilities in the local area that haven't flooded.
"We have a groundsman, who's the only paid person we have in the organisation… And instead of him working to improve the pitches, it's always repair now.Mr Flitney said the town really needed its own 4G pitch away from the river."It's very disheartening."
