Gillingham's home game with Rotherham United has been postponed following heavy snow.

Snow has been falling in Gillingham and temperatures have been freezing for much of the week.

Conditions aren't expected to improve enough for Saturday's game to go ahead.

The Gills have had the surface covered but surrounding areas are hazardous.

Gillingham's decision to make an early call on the game means their opponents won't be facing a wasted journey.

Club offices are closed today (Thursday) due to the snow and they are likely to remain so for Friday too.

A club statement said: "We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Tickets and merchandise can still be purchased online."

The Gills will now be back in action next weekend, with a trip to Portsmouth, where they are likely to be backed by close to 1,500 supporters.

Their next game at Priestfield is against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, March 17.
