Tranmere Rovers have announced that today’s game against Stevenage has been postponed due to damage caused by Storm Arwen.
Tranmere report that sections of the main stand roof had been blown off as well as roof signage and guttering being blown down.
A spokesperson for Tranmere said: “The SAG has advised that it is not safe to proceed with the game until the roof has been properly inspected.
“Whilst this is a big disappointment, the safety of fans is of course everyone’s primary concern.
“We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
