Hartlepool United's game against Woking postponed due to frozen pitch
Hartlepool United's long trip to Woking has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.
The pitch at the Kingfield Stadium passed an initial inspection on Friday but was deemed unplayable by the match referee on Saturday morning.
Pools had been set to kick off the new year in Surrey following a remarkable few days that saw American businessman and investor Landon Smith complete a sudden and unexpected takeover of the club from controversial former owner Raj Singh.
However, Saturday's game has been called off after temperatures dropped well below freezing overnight.
More information regarding a date for the rearranged fixture is set to be confirmed in due course, Pools said on X. Neither side have a game scheduled for next Saturday, January 10.
Depending on the rearranged fixture, Pools are now not due to play until Saturday, January 17 when they host Altrincham in what will be Smith's first home game at the club since his takeover.
