Albion are keeping their fingers crossed that Saturday's match against Mansfield goes ahead.

They already face a packed finish to the season of ten games in 36 days.

There is only room for one more re-arrangement to prevent the unsatisfactory prospect of playing three times in a week.

The situation is similar for the reserves after the postponement of yesterday's fixture at Reading.

They still have nine matches to play in the Avon Insurance Combination League.

Five of them are scheduled to take place at Woodside Road, Worthing, beginning with Brentford next Wednesday.

It's a real headache for secretary Derek Allan, because dates for most of them have yet to be confirmed.
