The League Two match between Notts County and Fleetwood Town could be postponed
A late pitch inspection will determine if Meadow Lane has a rare fungal disease
That is due to a late pitch inspection that will take place tomorrow and determine if the grass carries a rare fungal disease.
Notts County revealed a substantial amount of dead grass had to be removed from the playing surface.
But a qualified official and a representative from the Sports Turf Research Institute will still have to carry out a precautionary inspection at 11am next morning.
The fungal disease in question is a soil-based pathogen, which spreads rapidly and causes significant damage to perennial ryegrass.
The issue has recently taken hold at several clubs due to this summer’s exceptionally warm and humid conditions.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
