Match in League 2 at risk: unique fungal disease affects the pitch.

League 2 Match may be postponed due to fungal disease

According to The Sun: The League 2 match is at risk of being postponed for an unusual reason.

The final decision regarding the meeting between Notts County and Fleetwood Town at Meadow Lane Stadium is expected to be made later.

The issue is that a late pitch inspection will take place tomorrow and will reveal whether there is a rare fungal disease on the grass.

Notts County Club reported that a significant amount of dead grass had to be removed from the playing surface.

However, a qualified specialist and a representative from the Sports Turf Research Institute will conduct a preventive check at 11 AM the following day.

The fungal disease is a soil-based pathogen and spreads quickly, damaging the ryegrass.

This problem has begun to manifest in several clubs due to the abnormally warm and wet conditions of the summer.
