HULL FC’S Super League game with Salford City Reds at the KC Stadium on Sunday has been postponed.
After a week of extensive flooding, which has devastated the region this week and with a Met Office severe weather warning forecasting more torrential rain today, tomorrow and throughout the weekend, Hull FC have made this decision after consultation with the various emergency and environmental agencies.
KC Stadium manager John Cooper said: “As a result of discussions with all the emergency services and support agencies that form the Silver Commanders structure set up in the City to deal with the flood crisis, and The Hull City Council Safety at Sports Grounds Officer, it has been mutually agreed that the Hull FC v Salford City Reds scheduled to be played on Sunday be postponed until Sunday 29th July .
“Both Hull FC and the SMC support the decision in view of the fact that the services cannot provide the safety levels necessary to satisfy the Stadium Safety Certificate, Emergency Planning and Major Incident Plan"
Hull Chief Executive James Rule added: “I wish to apologise to the fans for the disappointment of this postponement. However having taken advice from all the relevant emergency services and the Safety Advisory group the club fully support this decision.
“Those fans who have already bought tickets or hospitality packages must retain their tickets, they will be valid for the rearranged fixture on Sunday 29th July."
