Motherwell's clash with St Mirren postponed due to burst pipes
Motherwell's Premiership match against St Mirren this weekend has been postponed.
The Fir Park side have revealed their stadium has suffered extensive damage due to the current cold weather conditions.
Pipework has frozen, causing some of them to burst and cause flooding.
The club have said they have no choice but to call the game off due to safety concerns.
Chief executive Alan Burrows said: “It is extremely frustrating for everyone involved to have this off, particularly with a sold out hospitality and a big crowd expected in both the home and away stands.
“The staff at the club have been working hard with contractors all week to try and get ahead of this issue. However, the damage that we’ve sustained, and will take when it thaws further, is extensive and it will take us some time to fix and clean up ahead of next weekend’s match against Kilmarnock.
“We would like to apologise to any supporter who is inconvenienced by this announcement.”
