As well as Crawley Town v Doncaster falling victim to a waterlogged pitch, a number of non-league fixtures went the same way.

Bognor Regis Town’s visit to Potters Bar in the Isthmian premier was called off after a Saturday morning, as was the Isthmian south east fixture between Burgess Hill Town and Chichester City, which was due to be played at Three Bridges FC with fire and flood damage to the BHTFC clubhouse still not yet finished.
