Bristol City's Championship match against Watford at Ashton Gate has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Kickoff was originally delayed by 15 minutes in an attempt to remove excess water from the pitch, but that task proved to be too difficult and the game was called off at around 3.15pm.

"There's no chance the game could've gone on," said Robins manager Derek McInnes. "The majority of the pitch was a concern. We're disappointed.

"We asked if we could delay until 4pm, but then the rain came down again. It's difficult to argue [with the postponement]."

A rearranged date for the fixture has yet to be confirmed.

Bristol City have not won at home since August.
