Cardiff City coaching staff suggested one of the goals was two inches higher than the permitted 8ft
A Championship football match was delayed after it was claimed the goals were two different sizes, sparking calls for an investigation.
The game kicked off seven minutes late as Cardiff caretaker manager, Mark Hudson, tried to raise the issue - but agreed the match should go ahead after being told it would take up to two hours to investigate. "One of the goals was two inches too high, and their third goal goes in off the bar… so you do the maths," Richardson said.According to The Sun newspaper, the goals are dismantled by Wigan ground staff at the end of each game before being re-erected ahead of the next match.
