Stanley v Barnet - pitch update 10.00am

There is good news from the Crown Ground this morning, the match referee has been down to the club and following an inspection of the pitch is happy that the game can go ahead.

The decision would be subject to review should there be any heavy rainfall ahead of kick off however there is none forecast and so we can now look forward to our FA Cup second round match against Barnet kicking off at 3pm.

Speaking about the news chief executive Rob Heys said "It is fantastic to hear that the referee is happy with the surface, a lot of work has gone into making sure that today's game goes ahead, and indeed to ensure that we don't have any further problems this season. Unfortunately it doesn't look pretty at the moment however that will improve over the next few days, but what matters is that it has done the job.

"Buzzer the groundsman has worked incredibly hard, together with all the contractors and volunteers that have got involved, and it is aall credit to them that today's game will take place."
