But the freezing temperatures mean the pitch is frozen.
And with the cold snap here to stay giving no chance of the pitch thawing out, the hosts have made the decision to postpone the match.
Salford said: “Friday night’s Sky Bet League Two fixture between Salford City and Colchester United has been postponed because of a frozen pitch.
“A pitch inspection was held on Thursday morning by a match official, and with temperatures not due to increase significantly before the game they recommended a postponement.
“Both clubs will now liaise with the EFL and arrange a new date for the fixture.
“Supporters who had purchased match tickets should keep hold of these because they will be valid for the re-arranged fixture.
“Once a new date has been decided, if you can no longer make it to the game then you will be able to claim a refund from your point of purchase.”
