Cold snap hits weekend EFL & National League games

Sunday’s League Two matches between Notts County and Gillingham and Walsall and Fleetwood have been postponed due to the freezing temperatures.

Six National League games on Saturday have also been called off.

Aldershot’s home fixture against Solihull Moors and Rochdale’s match against Brackley Town, as well as Woking’s home game against Hartlepool United and Southend v Truro City have fallen with the pitches also deemed unplayable.

The top-of-the-table game between Boreham Wood and York City and Scunthorpe United v Sutton United had already been called off on Friday.

Notts’ game at Meadow Lane was called off following a pitch inspection on Saturday morning, despite frost sheets being in use since their defeat by Accrington on New Years’ Day, with the Saddlers’ match at Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium following.

Statements from all League Two clubs said the fixtures would be rearranged in due course.

In the National League, an Aldershot statement said: “The club want to reassure fans that the correct measures were taken to ensure the best possible chance for the match to go ahead, but the overnight weather has deemed the pitch unplayable for today’s fixture.”

The game with Solihull Moors has been rescheduled for next Saturday, 10 January, with a 15:00 GMT kick-off.

Rochdale were due to take on Brackley at Accrington Stanley’s Wham Stadium, where they played Hartlepool United on Tuesday, losing 2-1, because work is ongoing on their own pitch.

“Despite the best efforts of Accrington Stanley’s groundstaff, with frost covers being laid straight after the full-time whistle on Tuesday, the sub-freezing temperatures overnight mean the surface is unplayable,” said a statement.

Woking’s pitch was given the all-clear on Friday but they said “sub-freezing temperatures overnight” meant their game could not go ahead.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and to opposition supporters coming down from the North,” the Surrey club added.

No new date has yet been scheduled for the Rochdale, Woking and Southend matches.

Yellow warnings for snow and ice came into force for large parts of England at midnight on Thursday, remaining until midday on Friday.

Further alerts have been issued for over the weekend and into the early part of next week.
