If Oldham Athletic win tonight against Boreham Wood then the game on Sunday could be a game of whoever wins gets out of the Relegation Zone depending on that Maidstone game/result who have Altrincham at home.

yes

What is interesting about this Match is the Form Table on Flashscore.

Although the Wood are 12th with 28 points compared to Oldham in the bottom 4 with 17 points they BOTH are on a terrible run with 5 defeats and 1 draw from the last 6 games.As a result the Form Table puts Oldham 22nd and Boreham Wood 23rd!!

Even more odd is that Boreham Wood won their F A Cup 2rd Round Match at Bristol Rovers and they play Accrington Stanley at Home in Round 3.

They are the first Non League Club to reach the 3rd round in 3 consecutive seasons ever.

Altrincham reached the FA Cup 3rd round in 4 consecutive years from between 1979 and 1982.

The Wood won 2-1.

I didn’t realise quite how good Oldham’s squad is. Liam Hogan, John Rooney, Alex Reid…we’re in for a very rough afternoon.

Boundary Park. In December. Below freezing temperatures. Snow also possible.

Will even BT Sport be able to ensure this one goes ahead?

Just shows that a "good squad" doesnt mean good results.
No win in 7 now after losing last night.

Its not going to be below freezing and no snow is forcast.
Southern Softie Syndrome strikes again

Hope you're right but Met Office says -3 Saturday night and -1 at 3pm Sunday and the groundsman said temperatures here can be consistently 2 or 3 degrees lower than a few miles down the road - second highest league ground after West Brom.

No chance this one goes ahead, 7 days where it hardly goes above freezing! Shame the Bromley game is postponed really.
