Solihull Moors v Chester cancelled

[taylov]

"Further to a decision of the home club's local safety authority, it has been necessary for the opening day fixture match between Solihull Moors and Chester to be postponed.
The Solihull Safety Advisory Group, who oversee the licensing of the stadium, has clarified that spectators cannot be admitted to the ground until such time as required safety systems are in place."  - 13.40 today.

Chester fans calling for a 15 point deduction

I read that the council only told them of the issue yesterday evening, why wasn't the ground checked and issues raised weeks ago? Also, why weren't issues raised during the pre-season home games that Solihull Moors must have had? Shambles really.

Pre-season was but at least we sorted the pitch before the season started.

S**t happens, no way they did it deliberately, fans of clubs like Chester don't need to climb on any high horse that's for sure.
Fingers crossed they get it sorted before we are due there :-)

Blimey, that is not a good way to start a season. I gather they only just scraped the ground grading last season.
