BLACKBURN Rovers' officials are frustrated over the delay in announcing a new date for the Carling Cup semi-final with Aston Villa at Ewood Park.

The home leg of the semi-final, scheduled for last night, was postponed due to the adverse weather conditions.

Rovers' managing director Tom Finn said: "It is all very unsatisfactory and we fully understand the frustrations being experienced by our supporters. We feel equally disappointed by the delay.

"Regrettably, we are still awaiting news from the Premier League and, therefore, are not in a position to confirm a new date for either the cup tie or any other fixtures that may or may not be affected.

"We feel it is totally unacceptable, but we want our fans to know that we are continuing to make every effort to get a decision at the earliest opportunity."
