Bramall Lane
The Bramall Lane pitch was water logged
Reading's clash with Sheffield United scheduled for this afternoon was called off because of torrential rain in the Sheffield area.

Referee George Cain called a late pitch inspection for 2.15pm and after consultation with both managers decided the pitch was not fit for play.

The decision understandably angered many Royals fans who had made the 200 mile trip up North only to travel straight back home.

No new date for the clash has yet been set.

Reading are due to face the Blades at the Madejski Stadium next month.
