STORM BERT caused chaos in the EFL as a number of matches were called off due to heavy snow and rain battering the UK.
Fans of many clubs had already begun their journeys to stadiums up and down the country when announcements were made.
The League Two clash between Bradford and Accrington Stanley was first to get called off.
It was revealed at 10:30am that there would be a pitch inspection and just 20 minutes later the game was postponed.
The turf at Valley Parade was deemed “unplayable” by the referee following torrential “snow and rainfall”.
Staying in League Two, Fleetwood were set to welcome MK Dons this afternoon but the clash has also fallen victim to Storm Bert.
Meanwhile, Portsmouth supporters had already begun the 270-mile journey up to Blackburn for their Championship clash when it was officially called out.
Fans raged: “Disgrace for travelling fans. Why not do this at 8 or 9am?”
Another added: “Genuinely upset.”
A third Pompey fan said: “In this day and age how can a Championship match be postponed? We’ve just arrived in Blackburn.”

More commented: “We’ve spent over £300 on fuel, hotels and tickets this weekend.”
The postponements give the EFL a major headache with the games needing to be rearranged in an already tight schedule.
In the National League, Halifax Town vs Sutton United and Rochdale vs Oldham Athletic have been axed due to the conditions.
There is a Met Office amber weather warning in the north for snow and rain.
