The League Two playoff semi-final first leg between York City and Fleetwood Town has been postponed, it has been announced.

Referee Carl Boyeson originally delayed the fixture until 8pm, citing concerns over player safety at Bootham Crescent given the heavy rain and saturated pitch.

Following further tests and a sudden late deluge waterlogging the pitch, the referee decided to call the game off.
