The cold weather, with below-freezing temperatures across the country, has caused several of Saturday's games to be postponed because of frozen pitches.

Four FA Cup ties - Birmingham v Wolves, Cheltenham v Doncaster, Histon v Swansea and Leyton Orient v Sheffield United have all been called off.

Twelve other games in Leagues One and Two and the Blue Square Premier have fallen victim to the weather.
