Wrexham FC have appealed to fans on twitter to help clear the pitch of snow. In the post on their official account they called for supporters to help clear the Racecourse ground on Friday and Sunday ahead of their game with Macclesfield Town on Monday.
The club says that "work has been ongoing to clear the white stuff out of the side stands to make them safe for supporters, but the playing surface will be our main task, as it needs to be done manually."
They have asked for people to arrive after 8am on Friday and asked "to bring along at least a spade with you – while any additional wheelbarrows will also come in very handy."

North Wales Police are warning people ahead of the Easter weekend to ensure they 'take sensible precautions' and not to go on off-road trails 'in search of thrills.'
They say they are concerned that people travelling to the area for the break should be prepared for the weather conditions.
Chief Inspector David Roome from the North Wales Police says “We don’t expect conditions to improve for several days so we want to advise people to plan their route properly, allow plenty of time for journeys and to make sure they are well equipped.”
Most of the main routes are now clear, but minor roads including the Horseshoe Pass and the A543 over the Denbigh Moors remain closed.
