It was decided that an early inspection was the best course of action, and after an inspection at 1.30pm this afternoon, a referee decided that the pitch condition would not improve in time for tomorrow's game, and therefore the game has been postponed.

Ticket information and a new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.
