Matches called off due to freezing temperatures across the UK

In England, the League Two match between Notts County and Gillingham has been postponed. In a statement, County said: “With freezing temperatures last night and forecast again for tonight, frost sheets were applied to the pitch immediately after our New Year’s Day match against Accrington Stanley and an EFL-appointed official was booked to conduct a preliminary inspection this morning. Despite our best efforts, the pitch has frozen and, with temperatures remaining very cold between now and kick-off, the match has been postponed.”
