Ilkeston match update

Following consultation with Ilkeston and the league, a final decision will be made on whether the pitch is deemed playable by the appointed match referee. We expect this to happen at around 12.30pm.

In order to try and get a decision earlier than this so that our fans and team didn’t set off for Ilkeston in vain, a pitch inspection with a local referee took place at 10am and he deemed the pitch unplayable.

However, after discussions with the league, it was ruled that every effort must be made to get the match played.

Therefore the match referee will take another look when he arrives at the ground at around 12.30pm and we will inform supporters as soon as a decision is made.

We apologise for the indefinite nature of this situation, but we are doing all we can to protect the interests of our supporters and players.
