Stuart Gray said, "The referee had a look and with the snow there was just no roll on the ball. Had the game gone ahead it would have been a farce. We are not in control of the weather and we had a huge snowfall between 4pm and 5pm."
"Colchester and their manager Paul Lambert agreed the conditions were unsafe and I think the referee made the right decision. Even if it had thawed the goalmouth may well have been waterlogged anyway."
