Altrincham officials have been carefully monitoring conditions at The J.Davidson Stadium, following persistent, heavy rain overnight, but are optimistic today's opening Vanarama National League fixture with Dagenham & Redbridge will go ahead.

With warnings issued last night for extreme wet weather throughout the North-West, officials were at the ground early this morning to gauge how the pitch was coping with the downpour.

As things stand, approaching 10am, they are optimistic the game will go ahead as scheduled, kicking off at 3pm, but, if there is any change, updates will be brought to you here on the club's website and on our social media channels.
