Bourne are in a bit of a false position in the league having played 25 games - 5 more than us. I'd expect them to be similar to Raunds or ON Chenecks.

I hope a few hundred make the relatively long trip over to support the lads.
They say we've lost our money we're not famous anymore.....

Their manager has had a right go at his players in the local paper for their defending on Saturday (they drew 3-3 at home). Hopefully they'll be as poor this Saturday. I expect it to be far more comfortable than last night, but you never know as teams raise their play against us.

They seem to draw a fair few of their matches. Let's hope they're not looking to 'park the bus' on Saturday.

Bourne have managed draws against Oadby, Eynesbury and Bugbrooke this season so I think we should be prepared for a stiff test on Saturday.
We have some tough games coming up so we really need to get maximum points to maintain our top 2 challenge.

Not to be underestimated then! Three points is a must, but then so is every game this season now as I don't believe we can drop any more points. No pressure then! :lol:

Nice club Bourne, you should enjoy your visit on Saturday although a much nicer place to visit in the Summer when they are playing cricket next door.
A few pubs in town to visit, have a good un and bring back three points!

Maybe so, but they also lost (at home) to Burton Park, nobody else has managed that!
