Starting with this game we need to string together some home wins. In the past our home record against promotion rivals has not been that impressive, so now is the time to rectify that. Our final position is going to be very much affected by these games. Six of our last eight home games are against teams currently in the top nine.

Indeed, a big test for us, but a great opportunity to really show what we're made of and whether we're capable of a top 5 finish. Should be the biggest away following we've seen at HR so far this season, would expect 100 or so.

Andy Peaks is looking forward to a 'massive test' as AFC Rushden & Diamonds take on King's Lynn Town at Hayden Road this weekend

If the game goes ahead we'll have a real challenge tomorrow - King Lynn are much improved since Ian Culverhouse returned. In the game at their place we saw an excellent performance from Chris Henderson in midfield, possibly the second best player I've seen in this league after Greg Mills of Stourbridge.

Pitch inspection at 10:30 tomorrow. It would be a shame if this one is called off as I’m guessing we could expect a good travelling support.

Good drying weather tomorrow with clear sky and strong winds, so fingers crossed.

There was much controversy last weekend for our visitors when they boldly announced there was no need for an inspection for their game at home against Alvechurch, only for the match referee to call it off when he arrived - by which point their visitors had also made the long journey to Norfolk.

At least Lynn don't have so far to travel if a late decision were required. With no overnight rain, hopefully, and strong winds during morning it could be possible to play.If the game were to go ahead it is likely to played in strong winds.
