Rotherham United have issued a statement reassuring supporters that they have no concerns regarding this evening’s game at the New York Stadium with no pitch inspection planned, despite the heavy rain.
The Millers say the surface, which underwent significant work over the summer, will be monitored between now and the 8pm kick-off but currently there are no worries regarding its playability.
The statement reads: "Rotherham United would like to reassure supporters travelling to tonight’s game that the club currently has no concerns about the playing surface at AESSEAL New York Stadium, despite the inclement weather around the UK at present.
"The club’s groundstaff have – and will continue to – monitor the condition of the pitch in the build-up to tonight’s 8pm kick off against Ipswich Town but, at present, have no concerns about a potential postponement.
"As a result, there are currently NO pitch inspections planned ahead of tonight’s game but should this change throughout the course of the day, we will communicate that message at the earliest possible opportunity.
"We do recognise that the weather may have affected travel plans for supporters attending the match and would remind those same fans to exercise caution on their route to the stadium and allow plenty of time to account for any delays that the weather may have had on their journey.
"As always, we would advise fans travelling to check the latest traffic updates and information from public transport providers ahead of their trip.”
