It was rescheduled for 7.45pm on Tuesday evening, but has succumbed to the weather again as Storm Kathleen wreaks havoc.

The postponement was confirmed following an 11am pitch inspection.

A statement from Barrow read: “Unfortunately following a pitch inspection at the SO Legal Stadium, tonight’s match against Bradford City has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

“We will update fans as soon as possible about the rearrangement of this fixture.”

Bradford also revealed referee Ross Joyce had deemed the pitch “unplayable”.

Reacting to the latest postponement, one social media user said: “If only the previous fixture hadn’t been abandoned unexpectedly and completely unnecessarily.

“Still can’t believe that official is allowed a decision!”

While another added: “If only it was played the first time when the pitch was playable…”
