Was the match postponed?

The weather has been terrible but with no way of contacting officials of the teams (the women's game does need to get that sorted at this level) I travelled to Salford with a degree of pessimism. I arrived shortly before the 1 o'clock kick off, as did the Boro' team. A quick chat with them revealed that the match had been made into a league game as they could not 'get an FA Cup pitch' and the only one available was an artificial one (not allowed in the FA Cup competition rules apparently!) So, it was a 2pm kick off in the League. Having travelled all that way, I thought I might as well stay and watch the match which ended in a 2-0 win for Middlesbrough. The pitch was like no artificial pitch I had ever seen. It was just like playing on grass and, in my view, stupid not to play the Cup tie on it!
