Bedworth United manager Billy Hollywood spent a few days in his native Scotland visiting family but his mind was very much on his team’s home match against Racing Warwick.

Not that he thinks there is much chance of the game going ahead if there is any more rain.

"Our match on Tuesday against Tamworth was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch and I understand there has been a lot more rain on it in the last couple of days," he said from Kilmarnock.

"It appears to be dodgy at present but we shall prepare as though the game is going ahead. We beat Racing 3-1 on their pitch earlier in the season and I would be happy with a similar scoreline in this one."

Hollywood has not been idle away from the pitch. He hopes to sign a new defender and a new striker within a few days if everything clicks into place.

Meanwhile he will lose midfielder John Halford with a three match suspension after the player was sent off against Shepshed, striker Simon Black had seven stitches in his knee following the match against Hinckley, Steve Brown needs an operation on his knee and Robbie Beard is visiting family in New Zealand.

"We are stretched to the limit at present," admits Hollywood. "That is why I have been looking around to add players to the squad."
