Swindon Town’s trip to Harrogate Town has been postponed due to a frozen pitch at the Exercise Stadium.
An inspection took place at the Yorkshire ground on Saturday (January 3), a little more than 24 hours ahead of the scheduled Sunday kickoff.
While the playing surface had been under frost covers, consistent sub-zero temperatures have left it unplayable.
And with further freezing conditions expected over the coming hours, chances of thaw before the game were highly unlikely.
