If this gets called off we might as well resign from the league and give up because we wouldn't play a home game between November-March.

There's a big difference between the monsoon-like downpour of a few weeks back and the intermittent rain we're having at the moment.

The Match Status page says 'Not expected to change' - that's good enough for me. See you all there. :D

Won 2-0 in the end. Alfie Taylor got the second from a free kick.

Didn't really seem like we got out of first gear tonight. Looked much better in the second half when the subs came on with Pritchard, Gillingwater and Johnston inparticular improving the side I thought. Morgan and Dent the standout players over the 90 mins. Think Dent looks like a cracking player.

For what it's worth I thought Holwell were slightly better than Buckingham as a unit, but Buckingham perhaps had more of an attacking threat.

Only to be expected. Buckingham not exactly a major attraction. Still more than Ploppies got against Stoke ;) and I expect a far bigger crowd against Luton on Friday.
Plenty of UCL premier division sides would like tonight's attendance in their league matches.
