We're here at Griffin Park as the Imps attempt to fashion their first away win of the season. I'm afraid we're still waiting for the team sheets as the last time we heard, the City team coach hadn't arrived at the ground. It's stuck in traffic. I suspect there will be a delayed kick-off. Feel free to post a question or comment to us throughout the afternoon. And I want to hear you're predictions for the game. |

Hi, We are just receiving news that the team bus is still stuck in traffic two miles away from the ground and are not moving. The referee has not set any kind of deadline and the final decision as to when to call it a day (without a game) at Griffin Park is down to the safety people at the ground. We will keep you up to dat with any news, but the Imps will be allowed 30 minutes from their time of arrival to prepare. |

Whats You're Prediction Hi Imping_along. Well if the team ever gets here I think they will be in for a very tough game against a buoyant Brentford side that picked up an impressive draw at Wycombe last week. It pains me to say it but I think the best the Imps can hope for is a draw so I will go for 1-1. |

Hi glebe There should still be no excuses if City do lose today. Remember when Chester turned up three days late in Jacko's first game last season. They went on and won, albeit thanks to a non-penalty. |

This is the last thing we needed before what looks like a tough fixture on paper. Maybe it'll galvanise the team and we'll get a result and upset the natives even more!! I hope so anyway seeing as Grimsby have just taken the lead... |

Afternoon Solihull Imp, Yes three points is crucial today, let's hope the Imps do not defend as bad from set-pieces again as they did last week. If they do, then they will going home with nothing again. |

This is game is going to be a bit of a test I reckon. What's Griffin Park like? I've not been to that particular hot-bed of football before! |

I took in my first visit to Griffin Park for 25 years last season and I think it is a superb ground for this level ...... neat, compact with a brilliant view from the away seats and creates a good atmosphere! |
