I'm not sure who will be in charge of the Doughboys on Saturday. The existing pair originally seemed to be staying until the end of the season, but then the club seemed to suggest they had gone last weekend. The new manager has today announced his assistant, who has just left Bugbrooke, so it's not clear if they will be involved on Saturday.

I'll do it if you like with the help of big DC as long as he provides the Haribo I'm sure I can sort out a game plan that will ensure 3 points for us.

Colin Cooper has said he's staying at Bugbrooke until the end of the season, so it could be incompetence by committee in the away dug out.

His moving to Welly is a strange one for me, I know him and Jamie Wright go back, but he's done a good job at Bugbrooke, and I'm not sure I'd be moving from a well run club like Bugbrooke with a good 18's coming through to the car crash that is Welly.

Even if we win we may have to wait until Sileby for the celebrations to be confirmed.
But both Thurnby (at PNS) and Wisbech (at New Pag) have difficult away matches, and I will not be surprised if both of them drop points.

Ref for the game is Mary Hamer who has put in some good performances this season. So quite a feather in her cap to be given such an important local derby match.

So if both Thurnby and Wisbech drop points and we win, then its confirmed right? I can't see Thurnby dropping points in the form they're in, but I can see Wisbech dropping points again. Fingers crossed both will drop points though, it would be extra special if we managed to confirm it at home against our co-tenants as much as it doesn't bother me too much where we do confirm it.

There's lots of PR on twitter, so I'm sure we'll crack the magical four figure attendence.

I can see some people staying after the final whistle waiting for confirmation of Thurnby & Wisbitch scores to see if we can celebrate on Saturday.

If not then lets hope Sileby have plenty of volunteers they can call on!

It would be absolutely cracking to celebrate the title at D&D, with our hosts there to see it. Although it will be great to claim the league as champions, I am not in favour of us winning it on Tuesday, because it's away from home, and a midweek match. I would speak to the players and ask them to save the title claiming for a home match. :P
