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.
