ive worked as a steward at several clubs including chesterfield, mansfield and doncaster rovers.
i can understand lower league matches being cancelled.
i do not at all support chelsea or man utd.

i was there today. the rain was so hard i could hardly see the other end of the pitch, but interestingly, the ref took the players off after the rain had mostly stopped. that was supposed to be for 10 mins. the rain stopped completely but the ref never came back out. i must say i was a bit surprised.
then the players came out and gave shirts and balls to fans, which i thought was a great gesture.

if the pitch gets so wet that it gets dangerous for the players, the ref has no alternative but to abandon the match.
