Games In Hand For Relegation Rivals

Last updated : 05 February 2012 By Covsupport News Service

The postponement of Nottingham Forest's televised Championship game at local rivals Derby County means that there is is no change in the positions of the sides in the bottom three of the table.

Coventry City's 3-2 home defeat to Ipswich on Saturday, means that the two sides in Forest and Doncaster Rovers, whose home game with Reading was postponed, now have a game in hand on the Sky Blues who are two points adift of both clubs and seven behind fourth from bottom Millwall.

Forest's game at Derby was called off due to spectator safety despite the Pride Park pitch being perfectly playable.

Derby County's CEO Tom Glick told Derby's official club website: "The pitch is fine and inside the stadium is safe and dry. However, the roads throughout the city and county are unsafe. This is the biggest match of the year for our supporters and we wouldn't want anyone to miss it because they had difficulty getting to Pride Park Stadium."
