Several football games across the UK have been postponed due to frozen pitches caused by severe weather conditions. Oxford United's game at home to Northampton Town, Swansea RFC's away fixture, Southend United's National League match against Altrincham, and Shrewsbury's game at Peterborough are among those affected. The decision to call off the matches was made after pitch inspections, with re-arranged dates to be confirmed later. The severe weather has also led to multiple other games being called off in League One and League Two.
A number of games have been called off across the country due to weather conditions including four in League One and seven in League Two ⬇️ https://t.co/g4jMkFs0a7
