Almost inevitably, Saturday's match with Swindon has been postponed after the pitch failed to recover from recent heavy frost

Swindon Town officials were decidedly pessimistic about the prospect of the match going ahead throughout the week, as a deep frost refused to budge from the playing surface.

And an inspection on Friday confirmed their worst fears, as the match was called off well in advance.

The match will now instead be played on Tuesday, January 13, kick off 7.45pm
