Storm Bert has had an impact on Saturday’s English Football League programme, with matches at Blackburn, Bradford and Fleetwood being called off.
The Championship meeting between Blackburn Rovers and Portsmouth was postponed following an 11:00 GMT inspection because of a waterlogged pitch.
Bradford City’s meeting with Accrington Stanley was postponed after a 10:30 GMT inspection of the pitch and the area surrounding the University of Bradford Stadium by referee Michael Barlow.
A statement on the Bantams’ club website said heavy snowfall and rain overnight had made the pitch “unplayable”.
Across the Pennines, MK Dons’ scheduled visit to Fleetwood Town’s Highbury Stadium was also called off after a 10:30 GMT inspection.
Fleetwood said the overnight storm waterlogged the pitch and that the decision to postpone was agreed by both clubs as well as the match officials.
The derby between Rochdale and Oldham Athletic in the National League, slated for a 12:30 GMT kick-off, is another victim of the weather, while Halifax Town v Sutton United was called off on Friday, with The Shay pitch frozen.
