Grimsby Town issue pitch inspection update ahead of Chesterfield clash
There will be a morning pitch inspection ahead of Chesterfield’s match at Grimsby Town on Saturday.
Heavy rain has fallen all Friday with flood alerts and weather warnings in place as Storm Claudia hits the country.
Lots of Spireites fans have been wondering what that will mean for Saturday's game at Blundell Park, with many having already made their travel arrangements.
And now it has been confirmed by the Mariners that there will be a pitch inspection at 10.30am on Saturday morning.
In a statement, they said: “Following a day of rain in Cleethorpes, we can confirm that a precautionary pitch inspection will take place at 10:30am tomorrow ahead of our game against Chesterfield.
“We have been in contact with the match referee Martin Woods throughout the day and club officials will continue to monitor the situation closely.
“We will provide supporters with an update tomorrow morning following the inspection.”
If the game goes ahead, Chesterfield go into it seven unbeaten and a win would take them above Grimsby, who are sixth. The Spireites have two injury doubts in Will Grigg and Adam Lewis, while Armando Dobra and Ryan Stirk are definitely unavailable.
The match is set to be Grimsby’s Remembrance fixture, with tributes to our fallen war heroes planned before kick-off.
Check back after 10.30am on Saturday for the latest updates.
