Bishop Auckland's fixtures are piling up after their home game with Eastwood Town was postponed on Saturday.
The Dean Street pitch was declared unfit early on Saturday morning to save Eastwood from a wasted journey, and club officials will be hoping that tonight's bottom two clash with Lincolnshire side Spalding gets the go ahead.
Bishops still have 11 games of a miserable season to play in just four weeks.
Blyth are in a similar situation in the Premier Division.
They also have 11 games to play after Saturday's away game at Witton Albion was postponed - a schedule which will severely test their ambition of playing in the Conference North.
The league's play offs are scheduled for the start of May.
