This will not come as any great surprise, when we say there is a pitch inspection at the Kuflink Stadium (Stonebridge Road) late on Thursday afternoon.

A local match official will consult with the appointed referee before a decision is made.

At present the weather forecast is not encouraging and conditions in Kent are poor, with more snow and ice predicted in the next two days.

We are grateful to the National League for giving the two clubs dispensation to conduct an early inspection.

As soon as we hear more from the staff at Ebbsfleet United on Thursday, then we will pass that news on via social media and the club website.
