Wednesday off but Blades on
Sheffield Wednesday have postponed tonight's game against Barnsley due to concern over potentially treacherous conditions around the ground at Hillsborough stadium.
While the pitch would have been playable tonight, the club held in-depth discussions with South Yorkshire Police and the decision to call it off was due to concerns over public safety with roads and approach roads still icy and further sub-zero temperatures forecast.
However, Sheffield United's game at Southampton tonight has been given the go-ahead.
The pitch has passed a number of inspections and with the Police happy with conditions surrounding the ground, the game will be on.
Rotherham United v Bury was called off after a 10.45am pitch inspection. The tie may be played on February 10.
