Weather disrupts sport once again

The freezing conditions across Britain have once again led to the postponement of a host of weekend sporting fixtures.


Saturday's Premier League games at Arsenal, Liverpool, Birmingham and Wigan, and Sunday's matches at Chelsea and Blackpool have been postponed.


Four Championship games are also off, as are all League One and Two games except Exeter v Sheffield Wednesday. Scottish games at Aberdeen, Hamilton, St Johnstone and Rangers are off while rugby union and horse racing are hit.


Elsewhere in Scotland, the First Division matches at Queen of the South, Raith and Ross County have fallen foul of the weather along with a host of games from the lower leagues.
The Blue Square Bet Premier League game between Luton and York was abandoned after 55 minutes due to the snow.


Saturday's race meetings at Ascot, Newcastle, Lingfield and Haydock and Sunday's at Carlisle have also been postponed.
