Hide AdWrexham said in a statement: “With temperatures having been below freezing in Wrexham all day today, we took the decision to make an early pitch inspection to help prevent unneccessary journeys in light of the projected forecast.
“Frost covers were put down over the weekend, with the pitch fit at that time, but the extreme cold – with temperatures as low as minus seven degrees last night, and a forecast of minus five degrees tonight – has led to the decision to call the game off.
“A rearranged fixture date, and all ticket details, will be confirmed in due course.”
Chesterfield’s next game is on Saturday at home to Coalville Town in the FA Trophy third round.
