To be honest, I think we will be pretty knackered from the weekend’s efforts so an unfortunate postponement might not be the worst outcome.

I see your point Tony and the thought had crossed my mind. Last Saturday Havant were 1-0 down to Maidstone and came back to win it in the second half. Ok Havant have started to get some form out of an expensive squad but one does wonder if fatigue etc played a part in the result.
Our squad is not numerical huge, we have Thomas and Cheadle out and not sure about Bloomfield who does seem a little injury prone, as he was last season at Farnborough Think this might be reason several correspondents would like an alternative striker added to the squad. Inman was an unused sub at Hartlepool so he might be back.
Our opponents have been on a good run and have in Jeffers a striker now finding his form having been on the bench earlier in the season. Having watched a couple of their recent games, Hutchinson on the left looks speedy even though he tends to cut inside onto his stronger right foot.
We wait to see the outcome of any pitch inspection if decided necessary.

Speaking to people on Saturday, apparently, Bloomfield did not travel with the squad because of a family issue.

No rain forecast so I don't see much chance of the weather causing a postponement.

Frost is the potential problem.

Taking into account the weather forecast and the fact that it is an evening kickoff I would be surprised if the game goes ahead.
Wait and see for the inspection.

Not a good sign for the game going ahead.

Surely the brothers could generate enough hot air to thaw any pitch.

Most games have already been postponed in our league.
