Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie between Forest Green Rovers and Birmingham City has been postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.

Heavy overnight rain in Gloucestershire led to a 09:45 GMT pitch inspection, after which it was confirmed that the surface was unplayable.

Blues said on Twitter external-link that a new date and kick-off time for the tie would be announced in due course.

Birmingham are 17th in Championship, while Rovers are bottom of League One.
