So then, who's going?

wow, I remeber that game, was it a boxing day or new years day fixture? I remember being freezing cold stood on that old crumbling concrete terrace at Nuneaton. Incidently, am I right in thinking that that ground is no longer there. I drove through Nuneaton about a year ago, and it looked like houses were where I remember the ground being.

That was the boxing day game which we drew 1-1. Jacko scored a belter from 20 yards before Nuneaton equalised late on. The one mentioned in the preview was a 2-1 victory at Nene Park, Brady and Darby scoring the goals amid all the 'Talbot Out' protests!

You are correct that the Manor Ground is now a housing estate.

Looks like being a cold and wet night if the weather here is Bedford is anything to go by?

It's not too bad in Rushden. Just came from Wellingborough, not raining, but wet.

Any score?!
