New Mills game postponed

The Bank Holiday Monday fixture list was completely wiped out, with all games postponed by lunchtime on Boxing Day except for the High Peak derby at Glossop, but the Surrey Street pitch failed an inspection this morning.

The inspection for the game between Glossop North End and New Mills was delayed for as long as possible, to give the game every chance of going ahead, but unfortunately the efforts of everyone at Glossop were in vain.

Glossop Matchday Secretary Stewart Taylor said: "There was snow on the pitch and it was frozen underneath. It's a pity really as local derbies are important matches and we left it as long as we could. However, the thaw came just a bit too late for us this time."
