"Saturday's scheduled League Two matches at Oldham Athletic, Chesterfield and Accrington Stanley have been postponed while Salford City's FA Cup tie at home to Swindon Town has also succumbed to freezing conditions. Thursday pitch inspections at Boundary Park and SMH Group Stadium found the playing surfaces frozen, while a pitch inspection at Stanley on Friday also led to their fixture being postponed."
"The Latics had been due to face Notts County, the seventh-placed Spireites were set to welcome ninth-placed Colchester while Accrington were due to welcome Barnet. Meanwhile, despite sheets and heat lamps being used at Salford's Peninsula Stadium, their third round tie against the Robins on Saturday will now take place at a later date. New dates for the rearranged fixtures will be announced in due course."
