Athletic were out of luck yet again when the game at Stockport County was postponed following heavy rain throughout yesterday. The postponement follows last Saturdays experience when the Boundary Park pitch was frozen and the match against Brentford suffered a similar fate.
The Latics have now had six matches postponed due to the weather and since the game at Wycombe Wanderers before Christmas, they have played just three games while picking up a solitary point from a 0-0 home draw with Tranmere Rovers. Ironically, their next fixture will be at Prenton Park on Saturday when they play the return fixture with Tranmere - that is, of course, weather permitting!
