Cumbria floods: Accrington boss criticises Carlisle ground moves

Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman has criticised the Football League for allowing Carlisle United to move their home games because of flooding.

With Brunton Park under water, Carlisle have three 'home' fixtures at neutral grounds and beat Notts County at Preston's Deepdale stadium on Saturday.

Stanley's last two home games were postponed because of waterlogging.

"I'm really upset about how the league's handled the Carlisle affair," Coleman told BSports Radio Lancashire.

"We are now games behind Carlisle. We've had two postponements and they've been allowed to play elsewhere and I don't think it's right or fair.

"I don't think it's fair on the rest of the 23 teams who have to go to Carlisle when some teams won't have to go there.

"I just don't think it's anywhere near any shape or form fair.

"I've got nothing against Carlisle, I wish them all the best in their ventures and what they do, but it's shifting the rules."

The Cumbrians will also play upcoming matches at Blackburn's Ewood Park and Blackpool's Bloomfield Road.
