It is extremely frustrating to have these postponements just as the side hit form, but there’s little that can be done about the weather.

Additonally, the enforced break could be used by United to gain an advantage for tonight's game (Monday) against Lowestoft in the FA Trophy.

Lowestoft’s game away to Boston United at the weekend did go ahead with Boston comfortably winning 4-1.

Despite this setback Lowestoft have won three of their past five games in National League South, and they will be tough opposition for the Paukl Doswell's men.

While United might be getting a break now they will soon be hit with a backlog of fixtures in late January and February, especially if they are successful in the Trophy.

The two confirmed midweek away games, as well as potentially having one at Maidstone on top of this, will be draining for both players and supporters.

This could well be the crucial period of the season that makes all the difference in whether or not we can reach the play-offs, or even give Ebbsfleet a run for their money in the title race.

Throughout all this bad weather and postponements you get the feeling that a 3G revolution is not long coming, with the artificial pitch making sense commercially as well as helping good quality football to be played all year round.

It is satisfying to know that Sutton United as a club are ahead of the game, and I slept a lot easier on Sunday night knowing I will definitely be watching a game tonight.
