The 4th Round tie between Telford and Millwall has been given the green light following a pitch inspection this morning. The winners will of course meet Burnley in the next round of the competition. If there is a positive result tonight then we will travel to either Telford or Millwall on Saturday. If the game ends in a draw, then the replay will take place on Saturday and we will be left without a game on Valentines Day.

If we don't play on Saturday then we will be playing our match at the relevant ground on Wednesday 18th February. Barry Kilby was left fuming by the arrangements made by the FA as the club will lose out on a £30,000 highlights windfall if the game isn't played on Saturday. Richard Chaplow will also be on international duty just 24 hours before the game would be played if the match ends all square tonight.

Kilby had this to say "Why should we face losing an influential player for such a crucial game when the delay in playing is nothing to do with us. We have already appealed to the Football Association and I expect them to take into consideration our situation if tomorrow's game does not throw up a winner."
