Following a 4pm pitch inspection and temperatures predicted to get lower than -6 tonight, tomorrow’s scheduled fixture at home to Chester has been postponed due to a frozen pitch.

Following freezing temperatures over the past week and temperatures predicted to fall to -5 tonight with the pitch already frozen, the National League have given us permission to hold a 4pm pitch inspection ahead of tomorrow's scheduled game against Chester.

We will bring news of the pitch inspection as soon as we get the result.

Taylor Allen has returned to Leamington having extended his loan spell from Sky Bet League Two side Forest Green Rovers for a third month.

The youngster was involved in our two National League North fixtures in January as we picked up a point against leaders Gloucester, while he scored his first goal for us in the win at Chorley.

With Paul Holleran's squad stretched after a bruising encounter at Hereford last Saturday, Taylor's return is a welcome one.

'The only reason we didn't initially take up the option to extend Taylor's loan was because we were unsure whether the season was going to continue, and he was cup tied so unable to play in the FA Trophy,' said the manager. 'He has made a valuable contribution in his initial two months with us and he has slotted into the squad well, so having him back will benefit us greatly.'
