Tuesday night's League One match between Oldham Athletic and Rochdale at Boundary Park has been postponed due to safety concerns.

Adverse conditions caused by the weather have forced organisers to halt the fixture.

"Player and spectator safety are always the primary considerations when determining whether a game can go ahead," Oldham chief executive Neil Joy said in a statement.

"Areas of the club's footprint are treacherous and with the ground temperatures not expected to rise above freezing over the next 24 hours and snow forecast before, during and after the game it's the right decision."

A new date for the fixture is expected to be announced "in due course".
