Rochdale v Fleetwood, Morecambe v Chesterfield, Newport v Forest Green postponed due to waterlogged pitches
Saturday 10 February 2018 18:20, UK
Rochdale's League One clash with Fleetwood and the League Two games between Morecambe and Chesterfield and Newport and Forest Green were called off on Saturday due to waterlogged pitches.
Rochdale's Crown Oil Arena playing surface has been the subject of intense scrutiny this week, with a heavily dug-up pitch causing some concern ahead of Tottenham's visit in the FA Cup next weekend.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino said it was "not a pitch in a condition to play football" and a threat to player welfare, while Rochdale say they will have a new surface laid in time for the cup tie on February 18.
Morecambe's Globe Arena was also deemed unplayable for Saturday's clash against Chesterfield.
The match between Newport County and Forest Green Rovers was also postponed following a pitch inspection.
The Rodney Parade surface was in use on Friday night when Dragons drew 15-15 with Glasgow in a PRO14 rugby union match.
It is the first postponement at the ground because of bad weather this season after a new drainage system and pitch was laid last summer.
All three fixtures will be played at a later date, which is yet to be confirmed.
