Along with several other Isthmian League clubs involved in tomorrow’s midweek programme, we requested a postponement of our fixture and can now announce the Bishop’s Stortford game is officially off.

The league advised clubs they could call off games this week because of problems related to the supply of fuel.

As many of our players, staff and supporters have to travel considerable distances and are experiencing difficulties in obtaining fuel we were among those to ask for a postponement and this has been approved, with a rescheduled date yet to be agreed.

The knock-on effect, of course, is that we can prepare fully for Saturday’s eagerly anticipated FA Cup third qualifying round fixture at Conference South side Chelmsford City.
