BARROW have announced their clash with Bradford has been called off AGAIN due to a waterlogged pitch.
The League Two game was originally scheduled to take place on February 24 but was axed just one hour before kick-off due to the state of the pitch.
It was rescheduled for 7.45pm on Tuesday evening, but has succumbed to the weather again as Storm Kathleen wreaks havoc.
The postponement was confirmed following an 11am pitch inspection.
A statement from Barrow read: “Unfortunately following a pitch inspection at the SO Legal Stadium, tonight’s match against Bradford City has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.
“We will update fans as soon as possible about the rearrangement of this fixture.”

“Still can’t believe that official is allowed a decision!”
While another added: “If only it was played the first time when the pitch was playable…”
