Snow and freezing conditions disrupt sporting programme

block

All seven of Saturday’s Premier League games are set to go ahead despite adverse weather conditions in the UK.
But six games in the Championship, including those at Aston Villa and Wolves, have been postponed as have most in League One and League Two.
All Scottish league games have been called off, but – as it stands – the Scottish Cup quarter-finals are on.
Watford fans, whose team face West Brom, were asked to go to Vicarage Road from 08:30 GMT to help clear snow.
Supporters of Southend – who host Walsall in League One – and Carlisle – who face Grimsby in League Two – also helped clear their respective pitches.
Elsewhere, horse racing fixtures at Lingfield, Newcastle and Chelmsford all passed morning inspections and will go ahead.
There is no jump racing this weekend because of the weather.
