It does seem a poor show that apparently no one from the FA was at Kingsmeadow to oversee things when there’s such a consensus that the match shouldn’t have taken place. And Hayes does have a point in that there should be undersoil heating at this level. The trouble is, most WSL matches still take place at cash-strapped lower-league clubs’ grounds – nonetheless, the money in the game is there.
So now Chelsea and Liverpool must find a new date in a crowded calendar and Arsenal and Manchester United have a chance to close the gap on Hayes’s side when they play later today, assuming they do. Tottenham v Leicester is already off – will more games follow?
So that’s us done for today. You can now nip over and join Alex Hess for Leeds men v Brentford men. Thanks for dropping by anyway. It’s been brief. Bye.
