Local referee Russell Booth inspected the pitch early on Friday and the club says 'had little choice but to call off the fixture due to the frozen state of the pitch'. Several pipes have also burst in the stadium making the toilets unusable and these cannot be fixed until they have thawed out. The car park and surrounding areas remain treacherous and present a safety hazard to spectators. ------------ EARLIER STORY: PITCH INSPECTION ON CHRISTMAS EVE http://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10417~2248740,00.html Pitch Inspection Planned grimsby-townfc.co.uk, Tue 21 Dec 2010 MANSFIELD Town will hold a Christmas Eve pitch inspection ahead of the Boxing Day clash with the Mariners.
