More than 200 sheep rushed into the stadium on the eve of the game, England s 11th Division was forced to postpone

Heavy rain, thunderstorms, heavy snow... Extreme weather causes football matches to not be held as scheduled, and it is no wonder that the sudden outbreak of the disease has caused the game to be postponed. However, the events that happened in southwestern England last weekend still subverted the perception of ordinary people. It is likely that a strong mark in sports history - a 11th-level league in England was forced to postpone because more than 200 sheep broke into the stadium the night before the game.

The protagonist of this tragic comedy is the St. Neot in Cornwall, a humble team that was scheduled to play a game against Lou Town last weekend. However, when the club management arrived at the stadium on the morning of the game, they found an incredible sight: the ground was covered with sheep dung and hoof prints, and it was obvious that a large flock of sheep entered the stadium the night before.

San Neot Club confirmed the news on its official social media, with a hint of humor in the tone of the statement. "Sadly, our match against Lu Town has to be postponed," the post read. "I believe you must have heard that the match was cancelled due to the freezing of rain, snow, but we believe this is the first time that the match was cancelled because of... sheep!" The statement said that the sheep were originally stocked on a grass next to the court, and the night before the game they crossed a stout fence on the edge of the grass and entered the court. The incident initially looked like country fun, but it was a nightmare for the club's logistics staff, because the sheep not only chewed the lawn on the court, but also left behind "several gifts that emitted foul smell." After the league officials inspected the stadium, they determined that the sheep dung piled on the stadium poses a threat to the health of the players and seriously affects the normal progress of the game. St. Neot Football Club Chairman Matt Nottel did not hesitate to clean up sheep dung, and photos released by local media showed him holding a shovel and trying to clean up the surface of the court. But neither his hands-on work nor the efforts of several club volunteers were enough to bring the stadium back to normal at the original scheduled game time. In desperation, the game had to be postponed.

This is the second recent incident that has affected the normal progress of the game due to animals in the stadium. At the end of September, Swiss media broke the news that due to severe rat attacks, the Geneva Stadium may not be able to host the World Cup qualifiers for the Swiss and Sweden, which were originally scheduled to be held here on November 15, and the game may be forced to be held in a different place.

It is reported that the rampant mice not only made countless rat holes on the court, but also damaged the turf, but also damaged the cable equipment. The staff placed a large number of mouse-catching devices, but the results were minimal. The mice seemed to have regarded the stadium as a permanent paradise.
