Southend United's Paul Sturrock after Cheltenham Town match abandonment
Blues boss Paul Surrock has spoken about the floodlight failure that led to the his side's game at Cheltenham being abandoned with just over 20 minutes left while losing 1-0. Sturrock: Well, seeing as his side were on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline when the lights went out at Whaddon Road Tuesday evening you would expect Blues boss Paul Sturrock to believe it was the right decision.However, in all seriousness, with a floodlight fuse box having caught alight, the fans safety has to come first.Sturrock told www.southendunited.co.uk: "As soon as we heard there was a fire then we knew it had to be called off and the right decision was made. The safety of the supporters is the most important thing but before I knew about the fire I was a bit surprised and it was all very bizarre."
