Yea right ;)

Just noticed this, if we beat them on Saturday we'll go above them on goal difference.

Won't sell 300 at this rate. Never mind, don't think the pitch will be payable. Good job about Histon because that pitch probably won't be playable until March.

The Histon pitch is never playable!

To be fair to Histon, they have got around this by not really using the pitch!

That's was John Beck's influence but now that Steve Fallon has also left it will interesting to see what style Alan Lewer adopts.

Number 208 is only standing tickets and as I've said before there will be plenty of people leaving it til late I would have thought, we're on course to get about 500 I'd say.

Really? That may be fine if you live in Rushden/Higham/Irthlingborough but can't imagine many folk will be willing to travel great distances, in current snowy conditions, to pick a ticket up on Friday in this weather on the off chance the game may be on.

How many did we have on a sunny day in August 2008 at the Rockinghorse? That will answer your question.

If the weather is like this until Friday then maybe they won't but if the weather and roads aren't too bad on Friday I still think there will be quite a few latecomers who maybe are currently waiting to see if the weather improves by the end of the week which it is supposed to do according to bbc weather and therefore giving the game a better chance of going ahead.

Admittedly heavy rain on Saturday doesn't look great with melting snow possibly on the pitch but you can't deny the forecast for Friday does look all right compared to what we've had recently.

Edit: K*ttering's forecast is similar.
