Leek is one of the hardest non-league grounds to reach by public transport in the country. It's such a shame that this game is being played on a Tuesday night.

If you had the day to spare, I don't suppose getting here would be much of a problem. But getting home would be slightly more of an issue.

There's a combination of buses and trains that would land you back in Halesowen at 00:50am, but you'd have to set off at half-time. ;)

Those of you who do make the trip are in for a treat, though. Should be a great game and a fantastic atmosphere.

What's your pitch like at the moment and is it likely to be ok with the deluge that's expected in the next 24 hours? I'd like it to be called off and hopefully arranged for a Saturday!

The pitch this season has been better than I've seen it in a long time. An awful lot of hard work goes in to it.

But we do have a history of being affected by the worst that the Staffordshire Moorlands weather can throw at us.

All I can say is keep checking the Leek Town website, twitter feed and forum. And news will be on there first.

It looks like tomorrow is going to be lighter rain than today, but it's certainly worth checking before setting off.

There have been no official announcements or concerns, which is a good sign. Normally if there is a lingering doubt, someone is pretty quick to raise the issue. It certainly won't be called off significantly before the game, that's for sure. The rain just isn't heavy enough. If anything it will be a late call, but it all looks good at the moment.
