Kick-off has been brought forward by an hour, as agreed by the opposition, due to the floodlight problem which arose during last night's (Tuesday's) game against Horsham.

All of the lights on one of the four floodlight pylons went out during the first half, but the game continued after a short delay and was played to a finish with United winning 3-0.
