Please read our Please read ourAs most of you will know by now, the AFC Wimbledon v Newcastle United match will not now be played on Tuesday night will no longer take place, due to flooding.‘We regret to inform supporters that due to extensive overnight flooding of the River Wandle and surrounding areas, including at our Cherry Red Records Stadium, Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup third-round fixture against Newcastle United has been postponed.
This isn’t just something affecting the AFC Wimbledon v Newcastle United match, with media reports stating that the flooding has caused massive damage to the pitch, as well as who knows what overall damage to the stadium itself. In the reports that I have read, it is reported that the flooding has caused a corner of the playing surface to give way, with visible holes apparently visible from views above the stadium.
The Carabao Cup last 16 round of matches are to be played week commencing Monday 28 October and I can’t see the competition organisers agreeing to this Newcastle United match being played anything but earlier than that week of last 16 round matches. Postponing it by 24 hours would give a bit extra time to arrange it and if the will is there from all parties, it would be achievable.
