It's a shame for the Stags who would have been centre stage if the gales hadn't caused last Saturday's game to be called off.
This week it could well be fog which is the only potential hazard! Well, it is winter.
The extra week doesn't look like making much difference to the West line-up. Brett Cullinane will be back from his hols in NZ on Friday, but he will have been in an airplane for some 30 hours, while Mark Cholmondeley is threatening a return to training on Monday night.
Redcar and Stockton did manage a game on Saturday afternoon thanks to the fact that they didn't have to travel far. It was Alan Bronw's boys who ran out winners 17-0 to go above us in the table. It's all getting too close for comfort.
