Due to the extreme weather conditions Wednesday night’s fixture against Manchester United is at risk of postponement.

The club has this morning been consulting with Greater Manchester Police, the City Council’s Safety Advisory Group, Manchester United and the Football League with regards to the viability of the game taking place.

Fans travelling a long distance for the Carling Cup semi final are advised not to begin their journey until further notice.

We will inform everyone of a definitive decision as soon as possible.
