Newport v Accy already postponed , no surprise really . Wouldn't have mattered which team was at home in that fixture ,it would have been off

I don't think the state of the pitch really matters.
Unreasonable to expect Colchester to travel from Essex given the predicted weather.

It's off. Just confirmed by BBC sport.

Bit disappointing, but a frozen pitch is unsafe.

If the pitch is ok and the conditions in and around the ground safe, then I don't see why making an early call of 'game on' is a problem. An early decision allows the travelling fans the more time to get here and know the game will be played. The motorways up are safe to travel today, and I don't see what is majorly going to change over the next 24hrs on that front.

No way would I (or expect others) to travel from Colchester on the motorways with the conditions as they are down there.

Good sense has prevailed in an early postponement.

Any body who questions the decision really needs to put safety of both fans and players as the number one priority.
