Fylde regrettably called the game off following multiple pitch inspections after heavy snowfall this morning saw the pitch gather a thick layer, which then developed into an 'ice like slush'.

With no natural roll on the ball and extensive discussions between match officials and club staff, the decision has been made to postpone the clash.

In a statement the club apologised to the Bucks and their fans:

"We apologise to all at AFC Telford United for any inconvenience caused, but with the snowfall not originally scheduled and the integrity of the game in mind, the referee has made the difficult decision to postpone the game."

A new date for the game will be rearranged and communicated in due course.
