Rotherham Boss Apologises to Fans - Ipswich Town News

Rotherham boss Matt Taylor has apologised to fans who travelled for tonight’s postponed live-on-Sky fixture between the Millers and Town.

The match was called off at 5pm, three hours before the scheduled start, with the pitch playable but with the River Don having burst its banks making conditions around the ground dangerous for supporters.

"It's so disappointing that the game isn't on,” Taylor, who had already arrived at the ground along with his staff and players, told iFollow Rotherham.

"We understand that the safety of supporters is paramount. First things first, we've got to apologise to all the fans who've made the journey tonight.”

More than 2,000 Town supporters were expected at the New York Stadium, although had the game gone ahead many wouldn’t have made it due to a lack of public transport, official coaches having been unable to reach Portman Road and delays on the roads.
