Eight Charlton groundstaff with pitchforks were joined by Doncaster players James Husband and Robinson as they tried to clear the pitch of standing water. When play resumed after a minute break, Simon Church pulled a goal back for the hosts when he smashed home a loose ball in the box.
And their hopes were further boosted when Keegan was sent off for two yellow cards just before the interval. But the match was then abandoned at the break as Collins decided the pitch had deteriorated to such an extent that player safety had become an issue.
Addicks manager Chris Powell had sympathy with Dickov. But we were ready to go out," Powell added. It's tough. Top Stories. Transfer Talk Daily. Morning Briefing 7am UTC. Get the latest transfer news, match previews and news direct to your inbox!
