Leyton Orient's third round FA Cup clash against Sheffield Utd has been postponed.

Match officials pulled the plug on the tie at around 1pm.

A pitch inspection revealed a frozen portion of turf, about 20ft saquare, in front of the South Stand at Brisbane Road.

A club statement pasted on the walls of the Matchroom Stadium read: 'All tickets are valid for the re-arranged fixture and should be retained.

'Requests for a refund will only be entertained where the the ticket holder is not reasonably able to attend the re-arranged fixture, and in the first instance a ticket for an alternative match will be offered.

'Requests must be made within 28 days of the date of re-arranged fixture being published.'
