Bath City suffered a third successive postponement when their scheduled league match at AFC Totton on Tuesday 10th February was claimed by the weather.

The Romans have not played since they thrashed Jewson Western League Premier Division outfit Street 5-0 at the Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park in the Francis Hillier Premier Cup quarter-finals on Saturday 31st January.
Since then, City’s programmed games in Enterprise National League South against Maidenhead United at York Street on Tuesday 3rd February, against Hemel Hempstead Town at the Cannon Clarke Stadium @ Twerton Park on Saturday 7th February and now against Totton at The Snows Stadium have all been called off because of waterlogged pitches.
The tussle with the Stags was postponed in early afternoon on 10th February.
In a statement, the Hampshire club said: “Yet again we’ve fallen foul of this horrible weather and we regret to inform that, unsurprisingly, tonight’s match against Bath City has been called off.”
A statement from Bath a few minutes later said: “Tonight’s match against AFC Totton has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch. A new date for the game will be announced in due course.
“We try again on Saturday [14th February] when we are due to travel to Dagenham & Redbridge.”
The Valentine’s Day game against the mid-table Daggers, who were relegated to Step 2 last year and were in League 1 in 2011, is set to be the Romans’ 27th league outing of the campaign.
Darren Way’s team have played fewer fixtures than any other side in National League South.
With relegation-battlers Hampton & Richmond Borough recording an impressive 3-0 victory at promotion-chasing Hemel on 10th February, City are now down to 20th spot in the table.
Only goal-difference is keeping Bath out of the drop zone, which starts one place below them.
The Romans have played up to five games fewer than the teams beneath them – and although matches in hand can be a great help in a relegation dogfight, the raft of postponements since the start of 2026 could become a major burden for Bath.
Already City find themselves with Tuesday matches scheduled in the league every week until late March – and the rearranged fixtures against Maidenhead, Hemel and Totton still have to be fitted in.
Kick-off against East London side Dagenham & Redbridge, who drew 1-1 at Horsham on 10th February, will be at 3pm.
Tickets for the game at Victoria Road Stadium can be purchased here.
