Grantham Town were forced to call off their Northern Premier League East match against Worksop Town - after crows damaged their pitch beyond repair.
Worksop were due to make the 40 mile journey as the crow flies, but the bank holiday Monday fixture at The Meres was postponed three hours before kick off, as revealed in a tweet from The Gingerbreads.
The playing pitch at the council-owned South Kesteven Sports Stadium in Lincolnshire has been infested with chafer grubs, the soil-dwelling larvae of chafer beetles, which are matchday scran for crows.
Crows - and possibly foxes too - have caused ground issues which could not be fixed in time.
