The Match Referee, Rob East, offered to call in to Griffin Park this morning as he had business in the area, and on seeing the pitch said that he could see no problem as to the game against Carlisle United going ahead tomorrow.

The hard work put in over the past few days by staff and volunteers alike has made a marked difference which, allied to the general thaw, should ensure that the game gets the green light.

No pitch inspections are anticipated and the continuance of work involving "The Blotter" will carry on as planned.
