With Hull and its surrounding areas already suffering due to the heavy rainfall earlier in the week, the threat of further rain over the weekend has seen the Black and Whites call off the tie after taking advice from the local emergency and environment services.

The game has now been rescheduled for Sunday, July 29 - the weekend of the Carnegie Challenge Cup semi-finals.

"As a result of discussions with all emergency services and support agencies that form the Silver Commanders structure set up in the city to deal with the flood crisis, and the Hull City Council safety at sports grounds officer, it has been mutually agreed that the Hull v Salford game be postponed," said stadium manager John Cooper.

"Both Hull FC and the Stadium Management Company support the decision in full view of the fact that the services cannot provide the safety levels necessary to satisfy the stadium safety certificate."
