[ Tue 1st Jan ] v Northampton Spencer KO:3pm UCL1 HOME

[Pigman]

Sorry we couldn't get the game on everyone, it wasn't for lack of effort I assure you, but you can't fight mother nature, 20 minutes of rain wiped out a whole mornings work :( The pitch was playable right up until the downpour thanks to a monumental effort this morning (and the lads who put in a long shift yesterday).

Fantastic effort by everyone though, cold, wet and muddy but everyone pulled together and worked so hard, I'm really proud to be part of the team !!

Fingers crossed we'll get to see some football soon !!

I understand that there is a possibility after a discussion with Dave Albon at the ground this afternoon that the game will be re-arranged, subject to the weather in the next couple of days, for Tuesday 1st January at 3pm. I await official confirmation that is the case. ;)

I know a certain man who would be VERY happy if that was the case!!

I'm led to believe that Northampton Spencer and the UCL have consented so all we need is a bit of divine intervention with regards to the weather. Is there anyone you know who could help us with that, Phil? ;)

Looking like Oadby away will be the next game then and this is MASSIVE. With all the postponements I'm hoping we take 400+ to this one. Particularly in light of the league standings.

You'd like to think so - I reckon it'll be 300 tops though due to the slightly increased distance. We randomly took quite a lot to Eynesbury and Wootton BC, yet only managed around 50 more at Buckingham than we had at Ashington. Our away attendances are proving hard to predict.

The Buckingham gate is now confirmed as 416 on Mitoo, so the number of Diamonds fans must be around 350.

It looked considerably less than that.

Lovely day for football, the sky is up, the grass is green, with a hint of mud, the ball is white so are the shirts, get the De Banke bouncing, a great game and we can all start 2013 with a glow on the way home
