The Pilot Field pitch passed an 8.30am inspection so the Ryman Football League Premier Division match should be on unless there is significant rainfall prior to the 3pm kick-off.
United groundsman Simon Rudkins wrote on social network site Twitter: “The pitch has passed an early inspection so at the moment provided no further rain @hastingsufc vs @leistonfc is on.”
The news will come as a massive relief to a United side which is facing a major fixture pile-up after having its last two games postponed. In fact, player-manager Sean Ray has this week urged the league to extend the season by a week to help clubs complete their matches.
Elsewhere today, Sidley United’s game at home to Lancing in Sussex County Football League Division One is subject to a 10am inspection and Bexhill United’s visit from Sussex Division Two leaders Newhaven requires a 9.30am inspection.
