Greg O’Rourke, the FFA head of leagues, was on hand to inspect the field this morning and insisted it was the correct decision despite the near-sold out crowd.
“With over 100mm of rain falling in the Sydney area over the past two days, and in the interest of player welfare, all parties agreed that it was not possible to play the match as scheduled today,” said O’Rourke “Whilst it is disappointing that a nearly sold-out crowd is unable to see another iconic Sydney Derby today, this was the right decision to give fans as much notice as possible under the circumstances.”There is no news yet on Sunday’s F3 derby between Central Coast Mariners and the Newcastle Jets, with even more rain expected in that area over the next 24 hours than in Sydney.
There goes a true BBL result!! 😡
Wise move ... inform the organisation in charge of the BBL
