"We apologise for the inconvenience caused."
Blues also called off their pre-season friendly at Canvey Island last Tuesday and have yet to play a warm up match this summer.
The National League season kicks off on Saturday August 5 but the Shrimpers are still waiting to find out if they will be allowed to stay in the fifth tier of English football.
