Which football games have been called off today because of the snow?

Over the weekend, parts of the UK were hit by snow and freezing rain, causing severe weather conditions. As a result, warnings were issued and various football games were postponed across the country. The Met Office issued amber weather warnings for several areas after heavy snow and freezing rain fell overnight. This led to the closure of runways at Manchester and Liverpool airports as teams worked tirelessly to clear the snow.

The Met Office also warned of ice hazards throughout Sunday, causing concern for the safety of football pitches and fans. In fact, Chesterfield's League Two game against Gillingham and Fleetwood Town's match against Wimbledon were among the first to be cancelled on Sunday morning. Additionally, several women's games were also called off, with more expected to follow suit in the upcoming hours.

Meanwhile, Saturday saw London's first snowfall of the year, adding to the already challenging weather conditions. This resulted in a number of football games being called off, including the League Two clash between Cheltenham Town and Walsall, as well as various non-league games. In Scotland, several games were also postponed, including the Championship match between Greenock Morton and Hamilton Academical.

The highly anticipated Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester United at Anfield is also at risk of being affected. A safety meeting was held in the morning to assess the weather and travel conditions for the game. There are fears that the pitch may not be safe for the players and an inspection will take place at midday to determine whether the game can go ahead.

In a statement released on Sunday morning, Liverpool assured fans that every effort is being made to ensure the game proceeds as planned. However, another safety meeting will take place at midday to assess the latest conditions and a further update will be provided to supporters. The club urges everyone to take extra care in these challenging weather conditions.

In addition to football games, the All-Ireland club football semi-final between Dr Crokes and Errigal Ciaran, scheduled for Sunday, has been postponed until next weekend due to a pitch inspection. Further postponements may also be announced as the weather continues to pose a threat to the safety of players and fans alike.
