Good afternoon and welcome to Sports Mole's live updates of the state of football matches up and down the country.
A deluge of wet weather is set to hit the country this weekend to make 2012 one of the rainiest since records began and matches everywhere are suffering.
Below, we'll post updates as and when we get them on the state of matches in the Football League and more.
