The game at the New Bucks Head had been due to kick off at 7pm, but club bosses have this afternoon confirmed that the pitch is not playable.

A message on the club's official Twitter account reads: "Unfortunately our fixture this evening against has been called off due to a frozen pitch, despite the efforts of the ground staff."

Telford had originally been due to host Gateshead in the Conference Premier tonight but that game was postponed.

The North-East side had an FA Trophy replay at home to Wrexham to accommodate this evening.

Incidentally, that game has also been postponed today and will now take place on Saturday.
