Frustrated Tiptree manager Neil Farlie has dismissed fears of a fixture pile-up and insists his side will pull out all the stops to beat Waltham tonight (kick-off 7.45pm).
Waterlogged pitches and problems with the London side's floodlights and travel arrangements have meant the tie has been postponed four times.
But Farlie, whose team were due to have played Braintree in the East Anglian Cup tonight, said: "The postponements have caused us a bit of an organisational nightmare but there's no risk of us not wanting to win the game just so we don't have to worry about our fixture list being clogged up."
Tonight's game should go ahead, unless there is a dramatic change in the weather.
The Jam-makers boss is hoping to have Chelmsford City academy youngsters Mark Chapman and Paul Davis added to the squad, which is missing classy winger Neil Cogger due to work commitments.
Policeman Cogger has just started a new job and is unsure of his availability for Tiptree in the coming months.
