Barnsley's game at Exeter City was called off three hours before the scheduled kick-off due to a frozen pitch.
The Reds had made the roughly 250-mile trip to Devon, as had many fans, before the decision was made at 4.30pm.
Referee Darren Handley said: "There are areas on the touchline and near the away end that are not going to give and won’t grip so it won’t be safe for the players."
Barnsley' FC Supporters' Trust have said they will submit an official complaint to the EFL.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
