Runways at Manchester and Liverpool airports were closed on Sunday morning while teams worked to clear the snow. The Met Office warned ice would be a hazard in places across the UK throughout Sunday, leading to concerns over the state of pitches and fan safety.

Fleetwood, meanwhile, said: ‘Due to the fitness of the pitch and surrounding area due to heavy snowfall on the Fylde Coast during Saturday night into Sunday morning a call was made in consultation with the EFL and PGMOL.’. Several women’s games have also been cancelled, including the FA Cup third-round clash between Nottingham Forest and Burnley, with more fixtures across the country likely to be affected in the coming hours.
