Referee stands by Reds postponement

After a day of heavy rain in the Midlands, the game finally fell victim to the elements when Knight inspected the pitch just ninety minutes before the game was due to start.

Wolves Chief Executive Jez Moxey has already cast doubt on Knight's decision to call off the game, but the official strongly believes that the state of the Molineux playing surface left him feeling it 'was not a hard decision to make at all'.

Knight said: It was not a hard decision to make at all. The ball was not moving at all and there was the forecast of more rain to come."
