The Yate Town Football Club manager said the team were 'disappointed' that their away game on Tuesday was cancelled due to the fuel shortage situation following reports players couldn't get to to the ground.
Taunton Town postponed the game due to be played at the their home ground the Cygnet Health Care Stadium after suggesting their players, that had to travel from various places over the South West- were unable to get enough fuel to do so.
Bluebells manager Paul Michael said: "We’re just disappointed.
"There’s been plenty of times in the last year that football has not been able to be played and we just want to play.
"Our players took measures in the last couple of days to ensure they had fuel between their car shares and it didn’t enter our minds that the game would be off. Two players says they were struggling so they weren’t going to be involved, that’s that, we play the cards we are dealt but we play.
"Covid rules at the start of the season said as long as we had 13 players available including GK’s we had to play, I can’t see that many teams playing at home can’t get 13 players to the game so I don’t see why this is different.
"We’ll move on now and prepare for Saturday."
