Torquay United v Northampton Town OFF
TORQUAY United'S match against Northampton at Plainmoor on Saturday afternoon was called off after a 10am pitch inspection. Referee Mike Naylor from Yorkshire decided that the pitch was unplayable, with two particularly bad areas in front of Bristow's Bench and in the corner between the Pop Side and the Family Stand. A Plainmoor spokesman said the ground staff had worked hard on the pitch, but it was in a worse condition than it had been before the recent Morecambe match.
