Blackburn's League Cup semi-final first leg match against Aston Villa, which had been due to be played in nearby Blackburn on Tuesday, has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions, the club announced.
With much of the northwest of England covered by a thick blanket of snow and evening temperatures set to fall well below freezing, it was decided that fans would be unable to get to the ground safely.
