Swindon Supermarine's scheduled relegation clash at Gloucester City fell foul of the frosty weather.
The pitch was deemed unfit upon Marine's arrival in the City, but manager John Murphy denied his troops an afternoon off.
The disciplinarian boss promptly sent his players on a two-hour run around the Gloucester Docks to ensure their fitness levels don't suffer with the holiday period looming.
The game has been rearranged for Tuesday January 15.
Marine's next game is on Saturday when they entertain fellow strugglers Shepshed Dynamo.
