The match, due to take place this evening, will be re-arranged due to heavy snow at One Call Stadium.

Head groundsman Michael Merriman told iFollow Stags: “The pitch is currently covered in an inch of snow and unfortunately, due to the current circumstances we find ourselves in, we are unable to invite supporters/volunteers into the ground to help clear it in time for this evening’s scheduled kick-off.

“Because of the effects of the pandemic in the close season, we weren’t able this year to prepare the pitch to its full capacity.

"There is therefore a drainage issue, which is causing a problem with water getting through the surface and into the drain, as will have been noticeable in our last home game against Southend United.”

A pitch inspection was held at 11am.
