A trip to the leaders New Splodge stadium on Tuesday evening.
So much has been written about the Essex outfit since the 'steel magnate' Tamplins, takeover and I won't rake over old ground....for those that have been living on Mars for the past 10 months or so much of the story can be viewed here....

They recently dispensed with the services of their long standing groundsman, always a thankless task at the Splodge.
Despite the ££££s that were spent on the pitch the 'damp patch' persists and may yet allow the weather to intervene on Tuesday.
Should the game get the go ahead then we can expect a tough encounter. Their squad is good enough to be successful at National League level and despite the departures of a couple of big names they remain a formidable outfit.
If Robinson (40) or Cuddington (24) have an off night they will still have Bricknell to call on from the bench. Between the three they have scored 79 in all competitions!
They are prone to leak a couple at the back, as Met Police proved on Saturday, grabbing a point in a 2-2 stalemate.
I would hope that we can go one better tomorrow evening but in all likelihood the home side should have enough about them to secure the points.
