there was in our UCL days but now we are step 3, the gap has widened to such a degree that we are not considered rivals any more but our success has benefitted Rovers...Saturday saw 13 of their 16 man squad being ex Saints players.

Yeh I did notice there is a large contingent of ex Saints players, I think we will be in for a very tough game! Like Duke of Wimborne said where is the best place to go for a few Pre match beers? If there is a pub with the lunch time football on that is a bonus, a few of us are aiming to get there around midday

Don't know where else to put this, but Sileby were 4-0 up against Burton Park at HT. Makes our 1-1 look a bit silly.

Finished 8-0.
I'm not entirely surprised. If they had played against us as they did Thrapston the previous week we would have had double figures, even off form as we were. Liam Fox also played so well against us, first really good performance in the 20 or so times I've seen him play.

My mate which plays for rothwell said Liam fox is really inconsistent , has good games then the next he has a shocker ,just like tonight. Also said he is always getting lobbed too.

I watched R&H play Eynesbury earlier in the season. I was quite impressed with them. They knocked the ball around really well especially around the box to create chances. Think it will be a tough game and they should not be underestimated.
