Peterborough United's Coca-Cola League One fixture with Milton Keynes Dons has been postponed due to a frozen pitch. The football club has worked tirelessly to get the game on by covering the pitch since Friday and using heat blowers to try and help with the surface, but ultimately with temperatures still dropping, referee Kevin Wright deemed the pitch unplayable.

Wright, speaking to theposh.com, said: 'The temperature is currently at zero and the pitch at the present time is still frozen. There are soft areas, but there are also areas where you can't even put a key into the ground, so in my mind, the first thing I have to think about as a referee is the safety of the players and the game as a spectacle.

'The one big aspect is if we sanctioned play and something happened it would be a disaster. Looking at the MET Office report, we are going to hit -4 at 4pm and that is still nearly four hours away from the proposed kick-off. The pitch is unplayable now, so it is only going to get worse,' Wright said.

A new date has yet to be confirmed. All tickets purchased for this game will be valid for the re-arranged date.
