CITY'S game against Carlisle is OFF because of a frozen pitch.

Referee Will Finnie deemed the Valley Parade surface unplayable after a midday inspection.

He was okay when he checked yesterday but plunging temperatures overnight - which have not lifted in time - meant the game cannot go ahead.

Areas of the pitch were still partially frozen at the south end of the ground by the TL Dallas Stand.

Seven League Two games have been postponed as well as three in League One and Blackpool v Huddersfield in the Championship.
