Storm Goretti has caused chaos across the UK, leading to the first postponement of the FA Cup third round. Salford City's clash with Swindon Town was called off due to a frozen pitch, despite efforts to protect the surface with sheets and heat lamps.
The Met Office issued a rare red warning for dangerous winds, with sub-zero temperatures, snow, and ice causing widespread disruption. Train services have been hit, schools closed, and tens of thousands face power cuts.
Several League Two fixtures have also been postponed, including those involving Chesterfield, Oldham Athletic, and Accrington Stanley. The FA Trophy tie between Kidderminster Harriers and Morecambe was rescheduled after a pitch inspection found the surface waterlogged.
All 64 FA Cup clubs receive guaranteed payments from the prize fund, with an extra £80,000 for televised matches and £40,000 for those streamed on discovery+. The full list of fixtures, with postponements marked, is available.
