Today’s League One fixture between Rochdale and Fleetwood Town at the Crown Oil Arena has been postponed.
A spokesperson for the club said: "Following torrential overnight and this morning, the match referee carried out a pitch inspection at 10.30am and made the decision to call the game off.
"We were confident yesterday that the pitch was playable, however, due to the amount of rain that has already fallen and the predicted forecast for the remainder of the day, the game will not go ahead."
Following the postponement, a decision has been taken to lay a new pitch.
