<\/p>\nThe abandoned non-league clash which Buxton were leading away at Scunthorpe in the 96th minute will be replayed in full.<\/p>\n

Ludicrous."<\/p>\n What are your thoughts on the decision? Let us know in the comments section.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n "Ridiculous decision bowed to the pressure from the so-called big boys. I'd be embarrassed if I was a Scunthorpe fan. Disgusting," commented a third, while a fourth argued: "Refuse to play lads. That's corrupt."<\/p>\n Even rivals supporters sympathised, with one replying: "I'm not a fan of either club but that is absolutely ridiculous." Another echoed: "That is a shocking decision!!! And made worse by the fact that a Buxton player was sent off and yet that still stands!!
