Nottingham Forest want EFL to investigate Bournemouth's decision to postpone Championship fixture... frustrated officials believe proper efforts were not made to get game on

Nottingham Forest will ask the English Football League to investigate the events surrounding the postponement of Friday's Championship game at Bournemouth.

The Cherries cited damage to the Vitality Stadium caused by Storm Eustice, which is said to have occurred on Friday morning, saying supporters could have been put at 'significant risk'.

But Forest officials are understood to be frustrated by the postponement, believing that proper efforts were not made to get the game played on Saturday.

Their frustrations also stem from the fact that Bournemouth will significantly benefit from the postponement as they currently have seven players out injured and Jefferson Lerma suspended.
