This from Jeff Lenton on the UCL FB page:

Yaxley v AFC Rushden & Diamonds - FA Vase - Sat 13th Oct.

Folks, I've been hearing loads of stuff about getting to the game on Saturday and car parking. etc etc.

We've got car parking for about 60 cars immediately adjacent to the club house PLUS an overflow car parking that will easily take 800 cars opposite (100 yards walk approx). All car parking is free!

We're opening the gates at 2pm. We...'ve got probably the best (sorry Haydn) tasting burger/chips/hot dogs from our own catering wagon just inside the ground and in the clubhouse cheaper beer than you'll find at any of the local pubs (we've laid on extra staff) there's a pool table, Free Sky TV in the main function room and 1st floor VIP/Sponsors lounge. SO COME AND SAMPLE SOME PRE-MATCH ATMOSPHERE - YOU'RE ALL VERY WELCOME.

For directions just go to http://maps.google.co.uk/

and put "Yaxley FC" in the search bar - there's also an excellent link on the AFC R&D Next Fixture page on their website.

SEE YOU SATURDAY !!!!! Jeff Lenton

Looks like they'll cope with all the cars, Haydn might have something to say about the food though...

. No offence taken Jeff.

I will echo your comments matey, i always look forward to Yaxley. Message to the Diamonds fans, you will get looked after over Yaxley, lovely place, great people and food is very tasty.

Hopes it,s a great game on the day.

See yyah Jeff when we come over later on in the season

This is the Yaxley 'preview'. A great piece with some nice sentiments:

£900 prize money is the reward for winning tomorrow's tie. ;)

Yaxley are a division above Rushden but Whaley has warned his side against complacency.

He added: "We hope to progress. Rushden’s League doesn’t really represent what they’ve got because of their squad. They re-formed this year and they’ve got really good support.

"They are on their way back up the football ladder. The squad they’ve got means it will be a real challenge but we are hopeful of progressing.

"We have picked up a bit of form recently and we hope we can continue that and progress.

"It is always a one-off in a cup competition. The camp is pretty confident. The issue is Rushden’s support; the crowd will be a lot bigger and our lads will have to cope with that."

It's going to be a tight one.

2-1 us I predict, possibly aet with a Dev double seeing us through

[Rankine's Nose]

Gonna be a close game, I'll go for 2-1 too.

Only £900 for winning though? That won't even cover a week's wages for one of our players! ;)

[SouthRushdenJFC]

It won't cover the board's beer money. :o

You've have to laugh don't you.
