Penrith have three successive home games coming up but may need special dispensation from the Northern League to play them.
Successive storms at Frenchfields have destroyed the wooden fencing around the ground and club chairman Billy Williams is in regular discussions with the League.
“We lost part of the fence during the early bad weather and that was repaired but the rest has been severely damaged by the latest storms.
“Because of the weather, too, we haven’t been able to do much with the pitch so there are concerns there.
“It’s come at a particularly bad time as we have three games in quick succession at home – Saturday, Wednesday and Saturday,” said Williams.
Penrith picked up a useful point in a 1-1 draw at Seaham Red Star at the weekend, to help their fight against relegation from Northern League Division One.
“That was a good point, a welcome one too after the previous week’s 4-1 home defeat to Newcastle Benfield,” said Williams.
Manager Chris Humphrey scored the Penrith goal early in the game, and both he and his assistant Shaun Gardner (who scored the previous week) have been playing.
They are being helped on the touchline by Andy Livingstone, Head of Academy Development at Preston North End and a friend of Humphrey.
“He’s been coming regularly to training and matches and is doing a very good job for us,” said Williams.
If the game gets the go-ahead on Saturday Penrith will be entertaining Crook Town.
The scheduled game on Wednesday is a League Cup-tie at home to fellow strugglers Bishop Auckland while they follow-up on the Saturday by entertaining Guisborough.
The Ernest Armstrong First Division Cup is a new competition with Carlisle City drawn at home to Brandon United in the Second Division Cup.
Humphrey has recently added to his squad by signing on dual registration Aiden Howarth from Workington Reds, a young defender brought to Borough Park by former manager Danny Grainger.
