THE Championship match between Millwall and Blackburn Rovers has been called off due to the effects of Storm Eunice.

Blackburn’s Sky Bet Championship clash with Millwall, which was called off less than 45 minutes before it was due to kick off after surviving an earlier inspection, was the biggest casualty, with conditions worsening as the day wore on.

Rovers announced the decision in a post on their official Twitter account.

It said: “The referee has made a decision for today’s game not to go ahead due to the condition of the pitch and concerns over player safety.”

Millwall have offered their apologies to fans who have travelled to the match in Lancashire. 

The match had originally been given the go-ahead but after further inspections, the decision was made to postpone the game.
