Further scandal rocks football as we confirm that Nelson will actually be involved in a league game this Saturday afternoon.

And it will be the return of recent Vase opponents Maine Road to Victoria Park as the Blues get back to the league campaign they last took part in almost a month ago.

The recent inactivity in the league has seen the Blues slip down to seventh, although they have games in hand on all but Great Harwood above them.

A repeat of the the 3-1 victory in that Vase game would do Nelson no harm at all, and it would enable them to move back above their opponents who are currently in fourth place.

It's the first part of a double header too, as on Tuesday we entertain Holker Old Boys, another team who have started quite well. We certainly owe them one after they humbled us 5-0 at their place earlier in the season.

Six points from these two games would definitely get us right back up there in the mixer, while denting the hopes of two teams who are sure to be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.
