The Championship clash between Sheffield Wednesday and Burnley has been abruptly cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch at Hillsborough Stadium, leaving supporters disappointed.
Heavy rainfall in the area rendered the playing surface unplayable, with officials making the decision after a late pitch inspection. The match was scheduled for Tuesday evening but was called off just hours before kick-off.
Fans React to Last-Minute Cancellation
Many travelling Burnley fans had already made their way to Sheffield when the announcement was made, sparking frustration among supporters. Social media was flooded with reactions, with some questioning why an earlier inspection wasn’t conducted.
What Happens Next?
A new date for the fixture will need to be arranged, adding further congestion to both teams' already packed schedules. Sheffield Wednesday are fighting to avoid relegation, while Burnley are pushing for automatic promotion back to the Premier League.
This isn’t the first time weather has disrupted a Championship fixture this season, raising questions about drainage systems at certain grounds.
