Shrewsbury Town's trip to Peterborough tomorrow has been postponed due to a frozen pitch

Local official Neil Hair inspected the surface this morning and deemed the pitch unplayable and with the forecasted freezing temperatures overnight, there was no chance of improvement.

The club did all they could to protect the surface but severe temperature drops have led the game to be called off in plenty of time for supporters to cancel their travelling plans.

A new date for the fixture is yet to be confirmed. Any tickets purchased for this game will be valid for the re-arranged date.

Shrewsbury's next game will now be the Boxing Day clash with Cambridge United.

Meanwhile Telford's FA Trophy game at Solihull has also been cancelled due to an unplayable surface.

The fixture will now be played on Tuesday December 20, with a 7.45pm ko.

TNS's game with Flint Town tonight and Wrexham's home match with Scunthorpe tomorrow have also fallen victim of the weather.
