TOUGH CHALLENGE

Although Ipswich have been forced into a late change in their line up for the meeting tonight at Armadale we can still expect them to pose a real challenge to the Border Roofing Monarchs.

Despite a forecast that suggested that we would have heavy rain at lunchtime at Armadale today that hasn't really happened and with all rain now gone by we are looking forward to a serious challenge from the Witches this evening.

They have had to make a late change to their side. Although we do not have exact details, Stefan Nielsen has been involved in a road accident that resulted in him rolling his van, wrecking his two bikes and ending up in hospital for observation. We believe that he has suffered concussion and minor injuries and we wish him a speedy recovery. His place will be taken by Sheffield's Josh Bates.

We have been informed that the entrance to the east gate car park will be closed by the roadworks although this does not seem to be the case at present. The entrance is more restricted than normal. If it proves necessary later then we will allow cars to enter the main car park and then proceed through there to the east/pits car park.

Holders of advance tickets, and we have had our biggest sale of the season, outwith Glasgow matches, will be allowed entry to the stadium from 6.30pm tonight and it future.
