Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United, Bradford City, Harrogate Town, Halifax Town and Guiseley off as weather hits Yorkshire fixtures

The Owls had been due to host Swansea City and their near-neighbours and Championship relegation rivals Rotherham were scheduled to face Queens Park Rangers but the cold snap has accounted for both games.

In League Two Harrogate's match against Leyton Orient and Bradford's game with Salford City were also called off because of frozen pitches.

Bradford saw their game at Scunthorpe United abandoned due to snow after 33 minutes with the match scoreless on Tuesday. That will now be played on March 23 at 7pm.

Halifax Town's Conference game against Dover Athletic and Guiseley's Conference North match against Boston United, both at home, have also been called off after pitch inspections.

York City's scheduled Conference North home game against Farsley Celtic has been postponed too, with the visitors declaring themselves unable to raise a team amidst the uncertainty over whether the Conference North season will continue because of questions over how it will be funded.

Bradford (Park Avenue) called off the Conference North visit of Hereford for the same reason.

As per National League rules, the circumstances of the postponements will be investigated but in a conciliatory statement on Friday, the league said "No fine or sanctions have been raised or recommended" and stressed cases would not be heard until a decision was reached on whether the season should be voided.

Saturday had been due to be the latest attempt for the Minstermen to play the first game at their new Community Stadium at Monks Cross. Attempts to find alternative opponents failed.

Clubs have until February 28 to vote on whether the season should be voided. Farsley and Bradford (Park Avenue) are expected to opt for that, York to oppose it.
