The cold snap sweeping the UK has meant a swift re-hashing of manager John Sheridan's training plans ahead of this weekend's game against Brighton.

Temperatures have plunged nationwide in the last few days, freezing both the Chapel Road and Little Wembley training grounds.

The cold - combined with snow in the Oldham area this morning - forced Sheridan and the squad onto the 3G synthetic pitch attached to the Chapel Road complex.

Meanwhile Tony Philliskirk and the youth team travelled over to Milnrow to use the indoor facilities at the Soccer Village.
