TODAY'S MATCH - POSTPONED
Heavy over night rain leaves - parts of the pitch under water
As a result of the heavy overnight rain, together with the rain during the week, parts of the Amlin Stadium pitch are currently underwater and a local referee, who conducted a pitch inspection at 9.45am, declared the pitch unfit. A new date for the match will be announced in due course.

Alas, too many downpours in a short spell of time.
It was already heavy and the heavens opened at 2am, 4am and 6am!
Without that lot (and what's forecast later), we'd have been on!

5 games in conference south off...... 5 games in southern league off...... 6 games in Ryman Prem off...... So obviously a fair bit of rain around in the south of the country........ Let's face it our pitch is probably not that different to the days of when we had Ryman league football on it!! It's gonna take a season or 3 to reap dividends of the drainage works that happened over the summer!!! It is disappointing for us all to miss out on a game but gives us devoted husbands a chance to get to the shops prior to Christmas Eve!!! Merry Christmas all- see you at Cambridge on Thursday!! ?
