Taking to Twitter, a club spokesman wrote: "After the overnight deep freeze and early morning snowfall we’ll be having a pitch inspection at 9:30am ahead of our game against."

This was followed by: "Today's game has been postponed due to a frozen pitch and snow covering the terraces and surrounding area."
