Football matches at Edgar Street will be postponed until further notice following safety certification talks. The council has agreed with HUFC that the Help for Heroes match on Sunday, July6th and the friendly match with Cardiff City Football Club on Saturday,July 12th will be postponed. The council and emergency services, acting in a Safety Advisory Group capacity, have held two emergency meetings with club representatives this week to discuss the club's general safety certificate, which is issued by the council to ensure spectator safety at the ground. The meetings were primarily to discuss the arrangements in place to ensure compliance with the safety certificate, in light of recent staff and ownership changes. Unfortunately, the council is not fully satisfied that the club can currently meet the requirements of the safety certificate and has therefore advised that no football matches are to be held in front of spectators at Edgar Street until this has been properly addressed.
