Freezing Climate:EPL matches postponed

The freezing climate in the United Kingdom has affected the English Premier League. Matches at Fratton park(picture given above) between Portsmouth and Manchester City and the match between Fulham and Blackburn at Craven Cottage have been postponed due to the freezing weather which has made the pitches a bed of snow. The third round of the FA Cup was badly affected last weekend with temperatures dropping below -10'C and its the same case this weekend. The thing is in relatively small clubs like Pompey the facilities are not that good while bigger clubs have the facility(beneath the pitch) of de-freezing the snow that falls on the pitch. The temperatures have been very low in the UK over the past few weekends. Today today 4/9 mathes in Championship, 8/11 in League one and 9/12 in League two have been called off due the frozen pitches.
