Ian Wright has slammed a non-league club after their women’s team were forced to play on a “park pitch” due to a bouncy castle erected on the club’s stadium pitch as part of King Charles’ Coronation celebrations on Sunday.
Colney Heath Ladies, who play in the FA women’s fifth tier, arrived at Colney Heath's Recreation Ground on Sunday afternoon to discover a large inflatable castle sitting on the corner of the pitch ahead of their Eastern Region Women’s Football League clash with Bowers & Pitsea Ladies FC.
The women's team took to Twitter to air their confusion ahead of kick-off, before tweeting their disappointment that their fixture was forcibly played “on a park pitch” after the celebratory bouncy castle “took precedence”.
