Plymouth Argyle donated their matchday food to two homeless charities after Saturday’s game against Grimsby Town was called off.

The League Two encounter at Home Park was forced to be postponed as severe winds overnight caused significant damage to the stadium's roof, rendering parts of the ground unsafe.

The continuing poor weather conditions, with winds gusting to gale-force at times, made it impossible to safely access the roof to make repairs ahead of the match.

It meant the game was called off just over an hour before the 3pm kick-off, leaving food either already ordered, cooked and/or heated.

However, the club decided to donate the unwanted pies, pasties and sandwiches to the George House Homeless Hostel in Stonehouse and the Salvation Army's Devonport House.

Details of the re-arranged fixture and ticketing information will be released in due course.
