The cold snap dominated the Championship yesterday 4 games being defeated by the weather, with Ipswich v Middlesbrough called off after 37 minutes due to the frozen pitch, much to the anger of both sets of fans. Barnsley v Birmingham, Peterborough v West Ham and Crystal Palace v Doncaster all succumbed to the cold. Making it seem as under soil heating is in order for a lot of these teams.
