12:15pm Saturday 4th February 2012
Darlington's match at Mansfield Town today has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.
The game was called of following a 9.30am pitch inspection at Field Mill by local referee Russell Booth.
Although the playing surface had been covered since Monday, temperatures had plummeted to around -7c overnight leaving the pitch unplayable.
Darlington have instead arranged a frinedly this afternoon with Spennymoor Town to be played at Peterlee College (2pm kick-off) where there are all-weather pitches available.
Spennymoor are available as their match at Newcastle Benfield has been postponed.
