THE club regret to announce that today's (Saturday) game between Watford and Swansea City has been called off following an under-soil heating malfunction overnight.

Referee Trevor Kettle arrived at Vicarage Road and a pitch inspection took place around 11.30am when a decision was made.

The freezing conditions in Hertfordshire meant that large parts of the pitch were unplayable and the decision was supported by officials from both clubs.

A new date will be arranged as soon as possible.

The club would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to supporters from both clubs.

Tickets will be valid for the re-arranged fixture, all enquiries should be made to the Hornets' Ticket Office from Monday (1 February).

LET WATFORD BE THE PERFECT HOST
