SALFORD CITY’S final League Two match of the season against Leyton Orient has been delayed by one hour due to torrential rain.
The match was scheduled to take place at 3pm on Saturday afternoon but instead has been pushed back to 4pm due to the weather.
The club, who are owned by Manchester United legends Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and David Beckham, currently sit ninth in the table heading into the final day.
In order to make the final play-off place they need to win their match on Saturday afternoon and hope both Forest Green Rovers and Exeter City drop points.
As a result, the delay to the game could be a blessing in disguise for Salford as they will know in the second half of their match whether or not a victory will see them move into the play-offs at the latest possible stage.
The current play-off places are held by Morecambe, Newport County, Tranmere Rovers and Forest Green.
Forest Green travel to 18th place Oldham Athletic, while Exeter host lowly Barrow.
Salford were unbeaten in four games and looked to be closing in on a play-off place before last weekend.
But they were then beaten by struggling Colchester United last time out, a defeat which could prove costly in their push to reach the third tier.
Meanwhile in the battle for the three automatic promotion places, table toppers Cheltenham Town have already guaranteed League One football next season.

But the remaining two spots could still be filled by Cambridge United, Bolton Wanderers or Morecambe.
Cambridge start the day one point clear of Bolton and two above Morecambe heading into their home match against Grimsby Town.
Elsewhere, Bolton face a trip to Crawley while Morecambe host Bradford City.
Cambridge should have guaranteed League Two promotion eight days ago but were beaten 5-4 by Harrogate in one of the games of the season.
