UK Freeze Forces 15 Football Postponements

A cold snap across the UK has led to the postponement of multiple football fixtures this weekend, with frozen pitches blamed for the majority of cancellations.

In League One, matches at Scunthorpe United, Crawley Town and Bury were all called off due to icy conditions. Later additions included Hartlepool United and Crewe Alexandra.

League Two saw postponements at Accrington Stanley, Rochdale and Southend United, while the clash between Torquay United and Chesterfield fell victim to a waterlogged pitch rather than frost.

The racing programme was also severely disrupted, with Saturday's meetings at Taunton and Haydock abandoned, along with Sunday's card at Towcester. Both Ascot and Lingfield were called off around midday, meaning no turf racing in the UK this weekend.
