The pitch was very wet with surface water in certain places.

I was at the ground and saw the state of the pitch at the time of the inspection. A game is not likely to get the go ahead when there is surface water. The pitch was really wet and would have soon churned up if the game had gone ahead. The local referee's decision was correct as the pitch was waterlogged. The match referee had requested a pitch inspection at 3pm which would have been better but Hednesford wanted a decision by 1pm because a couple of their players were travelling down from the North East, The match referee agreed to Hednesford's request for an earlier inspection and decision.
