Despite the efforts of the ground staff, the match was canceled and caused a huge controversy.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn felt that victory should have been awarded given their advantage at the break and the fact that Ipswich were reduced to 10 men.<\/p>\n<p>However, the EFL ruled that a full replay was the only logical course of action. Mr Blackburn said in a statement that he was &#8220;extremely disappointed&#8221; with the outcome and vowed to consider appealing the decision.<\/p>\n<p>But nothing happened and the rescheduled game took place earlier this week, with Ipswich snatching a draw with a late goal in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn will face similar complaints regarding their withdrawal from Wednesday&#8217;s game. By ruling that a replay of the game against Ipswich was necessary, the EFL set a precedent that it must follow this time as well.<\/p>\n<p>League regulations state that any game lasting less than 90 minutes may be counted as a completed game or ordered to be replayed in whole or in part, regardless of any conditions established by the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>However, the FA Regulations state that &#8220;If a match is not played or is canceled due to reasons beyond the control of either club, all matches should be played on a day mutually agreed by both clubs and approved by the competition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a result, a replay of Saturday&#8217;s match will almost certainly be ordered, regardless of whether there are any complaints on Blackburn&#8217;s part.<\/p>\n<p>After the Ipswich match was called off, Blackburn&#8217;s ground manager Trevor Wilkin explained that the pitch could not withstand that level of rain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the days went by, it got heavier and heavier,\u201d he told RoversTV. \u201cIt just reached a saturation point where it physically couldn\u2019t take in any more water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got the rainfall figures for the next day and we had over 77 milliliters of rain, which is over 3 inches, so when you imagine 3 inches of water falling across the pitch, that\u2019s a lot of water.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t hide the fact that the pitch is old. The current pitch is 36 years old, so the infrastructure is old, the drainage is old, but that&#8217;s not relevant to the Ipswich game. The facts are the facts. We couldn&#8217;t pump that much water.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2143209\/Blackburn-Rovers-Championship\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier in the season, Blackburn were leading Ipswich Town when the match was abandoned with 10 minutes remaining.
