Barnsley's home game against Norwich City tomorrow has been called off due following the freezing weather this week.

There has been heavy snowfall and temperatures around freezing all week which have left the areas around the ground unsafe for spectators, although the pitch was deemed playable. The match has been rearranged for March 13.

The Reds had been hoping to follow up their win at Birmingham City and draw at Hull City on Tuesday by ending their nine-match winless home run.

Their next game is now due to be at Cardiff City on Tuesday although Wales has also expreienced extreme weather and there is no guarantee that that midweek fixture will be played. 

The under 18s' game against Sheffield United, due to be played tomorrow, has also been called off.

A club statement read: "The surrounding areas of Oakwell, including the roads, footpaths, car parks and potential travel routes have been deemed unsafe for members of the public to be using. This decision has been taken at the earliest available opportunity, whilst also giving the relevant authorities and members of staff as much time as possible to allow worked to be carried out for the game to go ahead.

"Unfortunately, due to sheer amount of snow and ice in the surrounding areas of Oakwell, the decision has been taken by the relevant authorities that the safety of the fans and general public would be in doubt.
