FC United game postponed

Saturday's Pitching In Northern Premier League match between South Shields and FC United of Manchester has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Heavy overnight frost left the pitch at 1st Cloud Arena in a solid state, and the club arranged an inspection for the earliest possible time of 9am.

The playing surface was deemed unplayable, with little prospect of the situation improving enough in time for kick-off.

A new date for the fixture will be announced in due course.
