Drenched - Colchester United staff try to make the pitch playable prior to their game against Rochdale being postponed Picture: STEVE BRADING
Colchester United's game with Rochdale at the JobServe Community Stadium has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Referee Craig Hicks decided to call the League Two fixture off just after 2.30pm, after heavy rain in North Essex left the pitch soaked.
Mr Hicks and his officials informed U's head coach Hayden Mullins and his opposite number Robbie Stockdale of the decision on the pitch, prior to it being announced.
