I was in Greater Manchester on Saturday afternoon and can attest to the kind of weather that saw Bury's League Two fixture against Southend United abandoned during the first half.
After what the club call some 'slightly sketchy' communication after the decision was made, the Shakers have decided to throw open the doors of Gigg Lane to everyone for the re-arranged fixture on Tuesday 21 April at 7:45pm.
That's right, its free entry for all for what promises to be a vital match at the top end of the table and I'd urge as many people as possible to go along, contribute to the bucket collection that will be taking place to help with the cost of an academy trip to Holland and perhaps buy a programme or at least a cup of tea.
As Bury point out, they will bear additional costs, including Southend's additional travel requirements.

On a similar theme and in a similar area, Ashton United have halved admission costs for their re-arranged match against Witton Albion in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Premier Division, which will take place at Hurst Cross on the same evening.
Adults can gain entry for £5, concession for £3 with chairman Terry Hollis calling it 'the right thing to do.'
