Gillingham’s game at home to Rotherham on Saturday has been postponed due to the wintry weather.
The League 2 clash at Priestfield was called-off more than 48-hours before the scheduled kick-off with more than a foot of snow on the pitch after two straight days of snow in the Medway Towns.
Roads surrounding the stadium have also been hit with icy conditions posing a potential safety risk to supporters.
With further snow forecast and temperatures expected to plummet to minus 7 on Friday, the early decision was taken to postpone.
The postponement means Gills will have been without a game for more than two weeks ahead of next Saturday's trip to Macclesfield, after a blank weekend last week due to their early FA Cup exit.
