Bury's League Two game against Burton Albion at Gigg Lane on Saturday has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Referee Nigel Miller arrived early to inspect the pitch but, after taking a good look, deemed the surface to be unplayable following torrential rain over the past 24 hours.
The postponement means Bury are denied the chance to extend their four-match unbeaten run and the possibility of moving back into the automatic promotion spots.
Burton, meanwhile, are facing a fixture backlog, having played only four matches in League Two since the end of November.
It means the Brewers are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference, but Barnet and Stockport County have played six and seven games more respectively.
Another postponement has occurred in the division at Macclesfield, who were preparing for the visit of Bradford at Moss Rose.
The deluge of rain in the North West has rendered the pitch unavailable for action due to excess water meaning both teams will have to play at a later date.
Both teams are struggling at the bottom end of League Two, with Macclesfield now in danger of going into the relegation zone due to being just two points off the foot of the table.
They can not finish the day bottom of the division however due to Burton's postponement, but Bradford could be dragged into the dogfight, as they sit just six points away from the drop zone, depending on results elsewhere.
