Shrewsbury, aware of the travelling arrangements of the Barnet squad and the official BFCSA coach have brought forward the original Saturday morning inspection. The weather forecast for the area on Friday night is - 10 degrees.

The Barnet players are likely to figure on television on Saturday whether or not the game is played - Soccer AM were due at The Hive today to film a Crossbar Challenge feature for their programme and also the Centre of Excellence youngsters showing their skills.
