Think this was a first for the N&R FL, AFC Telford's game got abandoned at Northwich Victoria on Saturday due to a power failure. Judging by the Telford club statement, clearly something kicked off:
"The club would also like to distance itself from the totally inaccurate claims made in Dave Stringer's match report carried by The Non League Paper yesterday in which he insinuates that the club placed undue pressure on officials to abandon the game and that “loud cheers were heard from the away dressing room” when the news that the game had been abandoned came through. We totally deny these claims which are a pathetic attempt to divert attention away from the very real issues and actual cause of Saturdays abandonment." (more)
They were losing 1-0 at the time. The game will be replayed Tuesday (tomorrow) and the winners will host Southend Utd in the 1st Rd proper. About 400 Telford fans made the wasted short journey and the ticket prices have been reduced for tomorrow's game (in case you wanted to go!).
